We need to go to them. The water is too deep there for us too. We would like to use a line to descend below a boat where we may visit with our friends. Would you please arrange that for us? We suggest the boat be piloted by a sister from here. All the boats we saw at the docks are not suitable because the men who pilot them will not trust us.”</span></span><br/><br/>
