SISTERS ISLAND
Myths had it that the island was named after 2 sisters who had vowed
to stay together no matter what. One of the sisters was to have been married off forcefully to a village chief so the other took her life in her own hands by jumping into the sea for she can not bear to be parted. Soon the bride-to-be too followed suit. Two new islands were formed where the sisters perished.
