Oh, the hacking, the slashing, the gore. And still the little begger just laughed at me! I was almost totally ineffectual in my first attempt to open a coconut.

In my defense, I tried to do the deed while still preserving most, if not all, of the coconut's milk. This is a lot easier to write about than it is to actually open one properly.
Here I am, psyching up for the actual first whack. I at least made contact with the thing - a glancing blow. There were a few more glancing blows, and finally, actual sharp side of the blade contact was made!

The victor and the vanquished. I even managed to save a teaspoon of the milk. This calls for more practice. When Cody does it - one whack - the top is neatly lopped off and nary a drop of milk is spilled. It's got to be magic.

At least the meat of the coconut tasted good. By the time we leave this place, I should be a crack shot, or whatever they call it. We only have twelve coconut palms surrounding us
