"Boy bilong grup"
Building a jetty by the Lake

Here at the GFRS, Klaas and me (Flo) are trying hard to be part of the group; "boy bilong grup" as they say in Pidgin.
Every so often we take a bush knife (it’s the tool for everything, and it’s better than a Leatherman), look mean and go off in the forest, just to ... well, be there.
Sometimes we take one of the dug-out canoes, the paddles and head out onto the lake. We're still practising. We zig-zag a lot, our balance is sometimes good, sometimes not. Steering can be an art form …
We haven't mastered it yet, but one day we'll take the spear too, and try to be proper hunters and fishermen. We've even set a trap in the forest not far from the GFRS, but we won't tell anybody until we've actually caught something.
There will be more to tell, sooner rather than later, so this is it for now.
From the bush under a palm-leaf roof,
Flo

Hi Flo, great to see you're staying warm ;) & good luck with the FRS. You'll be getting some Nordic help soon!
