This boat is the "older brother" to Iosepa.
All the logs in both came from Fiji.
The boat seen here has never been in the
water before, and so to correct protocol
it was "launched" the day before Iosepa.

President Shumway (in yellow) explained 
to the press about the boats and the launch.
 

The logs were placed on the sand to
make it easier to get the boat Iosepa 
into the water.
