I took a catamaran out to Lady Musgrave Island as part of a snorkeling trip. If you look at photos of the place, it looks like a tropical paradise. But when you are there in person, it's a hot, dry, bird shit infested hell hole. There are plenty of fish and lots of birds. There are small trees to provide some shade. The ground is covered in sharp broken coral and shells. I spent most of my time there snorkeling on the beautiful reef, but the hour on the island was more than enough. So hot. The birds seemed like they would be easy to catch but I didn't try. They might have flown away if I tried to grab one. Is there enough moisture in a bird to keep you going? I read Unbreakable, and that guy survived without water for quite a while.
