What a sensational first day on Sonaisalo. The entertainment crew had us split into 7 teams for a competitive round of kayak racing and volleyball. The kayak race was a basic relay around a moving bouy, a big plastic paddle steamer powered by pretty boy Harry Jones and Captain Cool Adam Hannigan. The first paddlers set the tempo for the rest of the teams. Unfortunately for the Wau's, their first paddler was Virgil Townsend. Virgil set himself up fabuosly up on the bow of the kayak and proceeded slowly out to the steamer until he capsized. There he stayed for the rest of the race, bobbing up and down in the gentle waters of the Pacific, unable to clamber back upon his trusty stead.
There was a lot of controversy on the winner, I still maintain that the Coco Locos won, but the win was awarded to the Bamboo Breakers this morning, only because they had the numbers in the room drowning out my protests.
The kayaking was followed by volleyball. Nigel Leck astonished us all with his aerial smashes, Jack Slack Smith showed why he won't be picked for the olympics for Volleyball whilst we saw moments of brilliance from young Tyson Damp (clearly relieved he didn't have to play with a dolphin hat) and Virgil Townsend who redeemed his earlier sins with a chant emanating from the crowd awed by the athletic display he put on. As one of the dads said, Virgil Townsend "a true Zero to Hero!" Untiki were declared the final winners, much to the chagrin of Eddie Wayling.
The afternoon was spent organising the teams and coaches for today's games. On announcing Greg Donlan as one of the coaches, Greg declared Monday as the happiest day of his life.
