Kangaroo Court sits outside it's jurisdiction on the Ra Marama!

A hastily convened kangaroo court sat on the deck of the sailing ship, Ra Marama, on it's way to Mystery Island. Justice Waying, Donlan, James and Allen heard two cases for the day.

Tom Hargreaves and Jake "the snake" Voss were accused of drawing fijian rocket ships (which could have been mistaken for a personal body part) on the conference room white board. This was taken as both a defacing of the courts property and unacceptable creative talent. Both boys were found guilty as charged and presented with the Flipper award of the day.

Nick Styler was called to the bench (with an incredulous look on his face...) on the charge of being in possession of stolen goods for 3 days and bribery. Nick had lost his thongs early on in the tour and was "given" a pair of red thongs that had not been claimed. After wearing them for 3 days, Will Davies presented himself to Nick's room and informed him that they were his thongs that he had been looking for for the 3 day period. At this point, Nick game Will F$4.00 on the basis that Will would not report him. Will took the money and immediately reported Nick to the court! In presenting his defence, Nick informed the court that he was wearing the thongs so that the owner would be able to identify them and that the charge of bribery was simply a misunderstanding.

Nick was found guilty (again!) of the charges....
