Our group consisted of me, Michele of Reach, Jenny, and Karen of Sojourn. Duane called it a Hens party
The Lookout on Sojourn Trail over Lobster Bay
The trail is still well clear and well marked
Once on Lobster Beach we took the First Trail across the island coming out on one of the western bays with this marker
Then we walked south, and once we got to the headland overlooking the Cut Buoy we realized we’d walked too far and back tracked to the previous trail marker which took us across a pond to South Beach
On South Beach the Coconut trees were easy to spot and we walked there, moving the ‘ladder’ from a tree that had been stripped of Coconuts to one of the shorter trees with Coconuts easy to spot and reach
Somehow I was designated to climb the ladder and Karen and Michele held the ladder for support as the ladder feet were on top of old palm fronds
Cutting coconuts with Karens hand saw
I was quite happy with haul
We took 9 Coconuts. I decided we needed 7 which would be one each (with our partners), but the last bunch came down and we had 9 in total
We decided to open a coconut for a well earned drink, and Karen tried, but not one of us had ever opened a Coconut before (our men do that), and we were totally unsuccessful
Back on our trail, Jenny had been picking up flotsam and jetsam
And used some of it to mark the trail on the beach
We took the very closest trail from the Coconut trees, and headed straight across the island. It was a very short trail and ended on Lobster Beach with this bizarre marking. Someone must have a weird sense of humor.
Walking back across Lobster Beach to our Sojourn Trail
The start of the Sojourn Trail on Lobster Beach
Back across at Hog Beach, we had nice view over the anchorage

Climbing down the end/start of the trail is not the most elegant affair
