I went with my Dad to Unanu island near Chuuk lagoon at the beginning of 1999. Unanu island is one of Chuuk’s islands and it is one of the smallest islands. Chuuk is one of the smallest Micronesian Island Groups in the Pacific Ocean. 

Unanu Island, is located 100 miles northwest of the coast of Chuuk lagoon in the Namonweito Atoll. It is so different from our island of Guam. They store sea cucumbers and fish with low tech solar energy.  Only recently, in 1994, could they store a lot of their food in a cooperative freezer. Many of the 120 residents now have lights and fans in their home now. Their Solar power is used many times for farming and for water lens extraction.  

So how do you get to Truk atoll and the other remote islands?  There are two simple ways, a Government fishing boat or a 40 foot fishing boat.  When you visit more of this site you will find all about Caves, Clothing, Plantations, and Crafts of Chuuk. You may also want to gather some travelers' tips or learn about the lovestick tradition.
