		<title>Goodbye for now&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very sorry to have to tell you that this is my final blog entry. Yesterday, I boarded a plane bound for Charleston and flew home. Before I leave you all, though, there are a few (actually quite a lot) of things that I would like to say. First off, the biggest thank you goes to my dad for making [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop the life from coming!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stop! Stop! &#8220;You&#8217;re piling too much algae on my tray!&#8221; I said that to Lindsay Mensen today  as we (and others) were in the ELC dissecting algae. At about three, I went down to the ELC  because some members wanted to dissect algae. I was to help (but mostly participate). First we got out trays [...]]]></description>

		<title>The battle of the winds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a battle, all right. While I was windsurfing today, there was more falling off than standing up. At five o&#8217;clock, I went down to the ELC for a windsurfing lesson with Matt Emery, the flight coordinator at Ambergris Cay. We dragged out the large, wide beginner board and small sail (so the wind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backhand! Forehand! Volley! Lob!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So many to choose from; which shall I hit? Today I played tennis (but I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve guessed that by now). Earlier this morning, a very nice member asked if my dad and I would like to play tennis with him later in the day. We of course said yes, and after finishing work in [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re all serving Iguana Punch again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent almost my entire day at the Welcome Hut today. That&#8217;s the place where members and prospects (people visiting who are thinking about buying property) gather after stepping off of the plane. There they are served iguana punch (see &#8220;I serve, you serve, we all serve&#8230;&#8220;) and are given nice citrus-scented towels to wash their hands [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Row, row, row your boat&#8230;&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No oars in these boats, unfortunately. So you can&#8217;t really row. These boats are Hobie Cats, catamaran-type boats that you can sail down at the ELC. Today I spent the afternoon down at the ELC, helping kids of members with sailing. After Will turned the kids loose on a smaller sailboat of their own, he called [...]]]></description>

		<title>A coconut and amnesia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we can leave out the amnesia part. It just made the title sound catchy. The coconut part, though, is real as can be. When I was out on one of my rounds (to check that the landscape around the major buildings is in good shape) with Steve McFarlane, we found a perfect (although little) coconut [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food&#8230;my favorite subject</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It truly is. I swear. Do you remember how Will and I went conching about a week ago? Well, we didn&#8217;t end up eating those conch because they died. Sad, I know, but I do get to take home a shell without a hole in it. That&#8217;s because in order to remove the conch from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paddleboarding&#8230;who knew?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I&#8217;m not pulling your leg. And that&#8217;s not just because I can&#8217;t reach it. Seriously, though, there is such a thing called paddleboarding (done with a paddle and a board&#8230;obviously), and it&#8217;s super fun! After kayaking early this morning with my dad (after all, today is Father&#8217;s Day), we came back into shore and I, bored [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;How&#8217;s the view from way up there?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fine, thank you. While reading past posts the other day, it came to me that I hadn&#8217;t actually shown you a complete overview of the island. First, I&#8217;ll talk about the map at left in depth, and then when I&#8217;m done you can watch it all for real in the video below. All right. First, [...]]]></description>
