Grass Hut Construction

Hello All,
Right after a very light breakfast this morning we hit the beach and met up with Nickolson and his wife. We chatted for a bit then took a half hour walk out the bay where he had some lumber prepared from the bush. We all took a hand into getting it all back to the village and took a little break, then the work began. We constructed a few walls and a few ceiling headers so he can make a few rooms inside. We just had a hand saw and some nails to put it all together and it came out pretty good. We got done about 2 pm then we came out to the boat where I soldered some connections on a small battery for him. He uses the battery for light at night to go find cray fish on the beach. The light makes them freeze in there tracks and makes them easy to catch.
We headed back to the village after the wiring was done and I took in my computer. We watched some Vanuatu music videos they had and half of the village showed up to watch. It's funny, they have the DVD's but no way to watch them so when a yachtie brings a computer in the whole place shows up.
Tomorrow the village is having a fund raiser for the new school being built. We told them we would come and join in the festivities. We plan to leave for the Solomon Islands Saturday morning so we will say our good byes tomorrow.
That's all for now.

PEACE
