Useppa Thanksgiving Recruits

This year, not only did we make it to Useppa for a LONG Thanksgiving weekend, we brought along 5 willing recruits. Karen's nephews Cal and Tim were joined by their friend Jesse while Crysta was there with her friend Erin. But what to do if your under 30 on an island with no cars or malls?

The boys built a VERY impressive lean two with found items at a small private beach at the island's end. Incredibly impressive and, along with their fishing prowess, proving that these three are definitely the guys you want to have with you if ever shipwrecked.

The girls chose to relax and wowed the islanders with their croquet abilities. They insist it's the first time they've played, but their shots indicated otherwise. Beginners luck, Erin's birthday luck or were they just faking us out? Steve came back with a one stroke shot through the wicket from across the court, but the girls were still tough to beat.

We all had fun. The weather was terrific and the turkey available in abundance. We hope they'll return again for more kayaking, swimming, fishing, exploring and did we mention eating?
