They made use of their machetes and opened up some cocnuts. Refreshing but it might give you the trots later, especially if they’re not fresh cut off the tree

Mark, your photo info wouldn't happen to name these fellas would it? Big guy leaning down sure looks like someone I used to work with, Byron "Big Hoss" Mouille. I know he was there on Bougainville...
