"I'll be around"

The highlight of the morning at our place was watching a local guy, Coconut Leo, climb barefoot up a tree and cut coconuts on the property here. This is routinely done because of the danger of fallIng coconuts. There is a ten times greater chance of dying from a falling coconut than a shark bite. All the guests came to view him climb the trees and with his mighty machete, cut down dead fronds and ripe coconuts, all while singing Bob Marley tunes. He cut some of the coconuts so we could use the coconut water for our next round of cocktails.

After that excitement, we walked north to a bar called Palapa Bar. Locals and tourists gather here by boat or on land for lunch and drinks.

"I'll be around..." That was what Captain Baxter said this morning about his schedule :)
