I’ve read a bunch of Forsyth, Dogs of War is his best work in my opinion.

Look up “The Wonga Coup”

Forsyth may have actually been involved in trying to plan a coup in Africa at some point in time. Incredibly interesting.

Yep. Was thinking the same thing. Shoulda arrested his arse when he did that

Trying to decide how pissed off my buddies will be at me if they get put on their text lists

Biggest point I remember from concealed carry class was the point to declare carry to any LEO. They don’t care but damn sure don’t like surprise.

Aka, don’t be a retard

This is a dicey response

This seems to be an ER implying it was at least perceived to be an emergency.

Doesn’t at face value appear to be a case of the sniffles—I don’t think you read the thread title

Hospital and providers deserved to be sued and lose licenses over this

Thanks for the advice.

We’re kinda locked in on being there over a weekend. May try to hit Sunday rather than Saturday.

Did this last summer with a group.

We considered both ways but ultimately didn’t want the stress of handling the boat ourselves. In retrospect we could have done it but the captains aren’t expensive, it’s just the arrangements for them to sleep costing you more for the boat.

I think the best thing he did was to wake up at 655 every morning and reserve a mooring for where we were going. That would have been stressful.

I agree with the comment about JVD. No mooring balls there and anchoring can be very dicey, especially if you don’t go early in the day. It gets super crowded, super quick. The captain pointed out several boats anchored in the reef and I think you can incur a big fine if you get caught

One thing we did that I loved was to do the more touristy stuff very early in the day and then we typically did crowd avoidance in the afternoons. We went to a few islands/beaches with no one there. Had we not had the captain we wouldn’t have necessarily known how to go about this.

We brought some food to cook on the boat but enjoyed eating and going to the bars most of the evenings.

Willy T’s was a very interesting place for sure. Very interesting crowd and clientele to say the least.

Ignoring the travel bag situation I feel like you can almost fly them there and back for what it costs to rent and then at least have your own sticks.

I finally just broke down and bought travel bags for the entire family rather than fighting the rental game

Played LBV today with my sons (11,7).

Pace of play fine for us, we’re slow, but probably faster than kids who never play, they play a lot of junior tournaments.

Greens are overseeded in rye, maybe rolling 6-7 at best. Ate my 11 year old up, he didn’t get many to the hole after being more used to the 10-11+ we’ve been rolling at Le Triomphe lately.

Talked to the guys working the course, they had an issue with disease awhile back and had to shut the course down and rework the greens. It was fine for us, but if you’re super serious, I would avoid LBV for now

We had fun, but not worth the Disney golf prices, IMO
