Golf and Fatboys

Work is finally slowing down so I am getting some days off. Last
Sunday Jerry, the owner of the building supply store here, organized a
golf game for some of the people here. We got some aussie cops and
some of the aide workers and met at the hotel at 11am to head to the
course. After loading into a VERY small boat, we left for Nusatupe
Golf Club. Oddly enough Nusatupe Golf Club is a bit unofficial, the
island is more known for the fact that the whole island is the landing
strip for the airport here. So just like playing in the street when
the planes landed everyone yelled PLANE PLANE PLANE and ran into the
trees.

I have never played gold and it defiantly was evident, I did however
improve significantly by the end and was one of the three winners!
Out of 8 people I am one of 3 that did not lose their ball. We then
finished a few beers, and got back in the boat and headed off to
Fatboys for lunch, we had a great lunch and had a surprise from Kieran
when he walked up to say hello, and he had his pockets full of baby
sea turtles. Only in the solomons can your kid walk home with five
endangered animals in his pockets.

Next week I am taking off to an Island Simbo which is a few hours away
by motor canoe. Literally it is a large dug out canoe with a 10-15 HP
outboard motor on the back, so I will take that through across the
open sea to the island. Don't worry Mom I'll bring a life jacket and
some water. The island still has an active volcano and some rare
birds similar to chickens, but they lay their eggs 2 M under ground to
incubate.
