Taking a second look at that leg, I must confess I have seen better ones on a Queen Anne table.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Kong is back from Tahiti.
Here is a Grass Skirt for Chris Alman`s lawn mower to get to work on.
This is in Rangiroa, in the Tuomotus,
and a little bar restaurant.

Re: Kong is back from Tahiti.
After sailing from the beautiful Island of Moorea we arrived in Avatoru on Rangiroa in the Tuomotus, another beautiful undeveloped island, Just a few wooden homes surrounded by coconut palms, for the locals and a single road around the Island, it takes less than ten minutes to stroll across to the other side.
The locals were very friendly, spent the day just walking around the island and talking to the people.
We were met at the jetty by the Dancing girls in the grass skirts, very entertaining.
We met a couple of young girls with a table, they were selling Sea Shells, 10 for a dollar. had a good little business going. I gave them some sweets and bought some shells off them.
It is a real little paradise.
