Glad to finally have some of Bella's back story. It's fun to discover it along with Edward. I'm crossing my fingers that the volcano is a dormant one and doesn't decide to wake up.
Author's Response:
Hi fangrl
Thanks for reviewing. I'm trying to get to all of the characters back-stories, building them slowly as the information becomes relevant. At this point in my story the volcano on Isabella Island is dormant or extinct, but that might change depending on how my story progresses.

Um, I wouldn't want to explore something called a "lava tube." Are they sure there isn't any in there anymore?
Author's Response:
Hi sevanderslice
Lava tubes of dormant/extinct volvanoes are available to explore all over the world. But, it could be claustrophobic if you don't like enclosed spaces. We have some famous ones in Oz called the Undarra lava tubes, but I've unfortunately never seen them

Bacon & eggs - yum!! I was just talking to my husband last night about this story. He had to take a survival trek in Boyscouts when he was younger and was trying to remember if he would even be able to use a compass & map correctly anymore. With all of the advances in technology, you lose basic skills sometimes. Not only that, but he was also wondering if they even do survival courses with kids anymore because of liability. We're enjoying the discussions this story is triggering, so thank you! :)
~allidel
Author's Response:
Hi allidel
I don't know how I'd go using a compass either. I think I used to know how to use one from high school geography, but that was so long ago, it's just a vague memory now.
Even without a compass to guide us, as humans we would adapt and find other ways to identify our location in comparison to another - the stars, landmarks, marked trails. NOT getting lost is crucial to survival when you are alone or marooned.
Making your own map isn't difficult. It might not be particularly artistic or even drawn to scale, but if we can draw somebody a crude mud-map (that's Aussie slang for driving directions showing roads and landmarks) then I think we could map our location on an island, landmarks and our trails.
Thanks for following the Cullen's adventures and for reviewing.

loved the update, and i thought of way they could grow corn. after a storm/ hurricane / cyclone there coudl be some birds that got caught up in it. And when they pooped there were corl kerenels in it and then corn grew. Then once they harvested some, they coudl dry the cob of course and get their own seeds to grow by there house. Then they coudl possibly make corn meal. Oh and if there is a wild goat they woudl have goat milk and be able to make goat cheese. How long before Edward and Bella get a little cozier??? REally enjoying your story !!!
Author's Response:
Hi FlSunsine
Thanks for reviewing and for the suggestions. It seems lots of readers are invested in the Cullen's adventures and survival. I love it!
I did consider maize or corn for use as a flour, but I can't find any historical evidence that maize was one of the canoe crops the ancient Polynesians imported to the region from South America. They did import sweet potatoes and yams, guava etc. Taro appears to be the primary carbohydrate crop in Polynesia but it contains no gluten so can only be used as an additive to breads and cakes rather than the primary ingedient.
I'm pretty sure the Western settlers introduced new crops and livestock to the region during the period 1700 to 1900s, so I might be able to work that in somehow, but for now, they are without any food or grain source that is suitable for breadmaking, until Esme and Bella figure something out that is - and they will!
Keep up the suggestions.
Kind regards, Jkazzie

I would think that Emmet would want a house made of clay, much more resistent, available close of rivers
foundation poles with driftwood for the frame and weaving with bambo and after finishing covering with clay, is a technique used a lot in central and south america
some examples :

http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/c1/94/59/casa-tipica-de-barro.jpg
or a combination more cullen style woth bamboo and clay :
http://fotos0.mundofotos.net/2009/26_02_2009/aldabra1235671526/casa-hecha-de-cana-de-bambu.jpg
is a strong materiaal that would make possible and save the construction of a 2 floors house (the clay works like a glue or cement )
hope you don't mind me sending these, just trying to help
loving the story so far ! :)
Author's Response:
Hi sandrabr
Thank you so much. I did think of using clay in the construction for a fleeting moment, but I just assumed that clay would not be readily available on a tropical island in the middle of the pacific, especially one that was probably volcanic at one point. I will research and use clay if it's feasible. I love the fourth image of the 2 storey bamboo and clay house. Your review came at a perfect time for chapter 8 which discusses the house.

Hi Cullen
Thanks for the info on US Navy ranks. I assume from your review that an XO is equivalent in rank to an army Lt Col and the Captain of the ship is equivalent to a full Col in the Army. I must admit I remember theNavy ranks from the movie Under Siege which I love with Steven Segal and Tommy Lee Jones. The studio used the battleship Missouri in that film and I saw her in Honolulu just before she was decomissioned. She was a glorious ship! It's a shame :(
Btw: I need a ship for Edward to be assigned to. Something magnificent that is based in Honolulu. Any ideas?

Hi Ladyros, yes 'knowledge' is 'power'. I think most people know more than they realize until they have to use the information they have. Thanks for reviewing. Regards, Jkazzie

i loved the beaching of the boat. i think you did well on the boating terms and jargon.
Author's Response:
Hi FISunshine, thanks. Beaching of the boat was fun to write. My friend from the Channel Islands has done a bit of sailing and she fixed a few terms for me but she said I did pretty well also. Regards, Jkazzie

i don't think that was very nice
The silly half drowned bitch had spotted land!
I don't know how she'd done it, but she had.
But i guess since she spewed on him he can gripe. still doesn't make her a bitch thou
Author's Response:
Hi FISunshine, he's a guy! 'bitch' is a bit like 'fuck' (Rosalie and Esme at the beginning of chapter 4). As an interjection, it doesn't always mean a bad thing, it's just away of expressing a strong emotion, but not necessarily a bad one. Thanks for all of your reviews. Regards, Jkazzie

I suddenly want to watch Swiss Family Robinson (the old one from the sixties or so) again. I haven't since I was a kid...
Author's Response:
Hi MeyaRose, I want to watch Swiss Family Robinsonson as well, but the 70s US made version is not available on DVD. There is a Canadian version and a newer series with Richard Thomas (Johnboy from the Waltons) as the father but I haven't seen it. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Regards, Jkazzie

Ahhh, please continue, I am loving this story! I'm anxious to see the pictures so as soon as I submit my review I am heading over there. PS Just so you know I am really bad about starting a new story until there are a few chapters up. Its hard to wait for updates when you are really enjoying a story. In fact although I saw your story earlier I held off just for that reason, so don't doubt the fact that you may be a little short of reviews. This story is great and I can't wait for more! It's exciting, its unusual, it's very well written and has all my favorite characters...thank you.
Author's Response:
Hey there cjrich, thanks for the two reviews and the morale booster. I was getting worried when nobody was reviewing! Look out for another chapter or maybe two, later today. Regards, Jkazzie
