Day 2 on the Island

So tents were hot. Eventually we all slept in hammocks under mangrove trees!

Tom and Alex cooked pancakes the first morning. We had time for a pretty relaxing breakfast. 

The chuck box was pretty well provisioned. We didn't need our mess kits - they provided pretty much everything! 

Here is Steve and Steve hanging out under our dishwashing station. Not a lot of fresh water and we had to guard our dish wash water from them!

Shark fishing. We waded out to a dock, Chummed the water. Caught a bonnet head shown here. Then hopped into the chummed water to wade back. Just don't think about it!

Wading back from shark fishing.

I think it's called a monkey tree.

Some team building games. Our mate, Dusty, is on the right. He was pretty awesome and a great role model. High spirits, positive attitude, very funny, capable. We all enjoyed his company. We normally would have had two mates, but end of summer caused many to have left for college. Dusty covered both crews without missing a beat.

Sunset from our camp.

We had a somewhat primeval bonfire that night. Yes, that is a whole tree going into the fire. SEVERAL whole trees. The boys enjoyed building the fire almost as much as the mates did!

And now we have a fire. What do we do now?

Dance. You can't tell, but this is a moment in the Boogaloo dance.
