Well here it is my 1st week in Boyztown
I can't believe those Russians if it is not bad enough pushing in at breakfast and nicking the bacon of your plate they are even trying to push in and land before you at the airport.

I was met at the airport by the reliable Mr Sapshoot who is getting on a bit now but still refuses to wear his glasses and his eyes are not what they use to be and thought he could get between the two buses. luckily his brother works there and lent us his baggage truck only for Sapshoot to run straight into some freshly laid concrete. After 7 hours we finally arrived at Boyztown.

The next day we were up early as Mr Sapshoot had borrowed a boat off his brother and wanted to take me out sailing for a day. I really wish he would start wearing his glasses as a few miles down the coast we left the road and had to be towed back after nearly falling to our deaths. Eventually we arrived at the marina and sapshoot insisted we did not need a skipper as he had sailed over to hua hin loads of times by himself. 4 minutes out at sea and he didn't see the pole some stupid person had put in our way. A wasted day really but sapshoot said he would make up for it on the 3rd day as he had planned for myself and his whole family to go out near the crocodile farm to a new place that has opened doing parachute jumps.

We decided to fill the back of the truck with beer and after the jump we would have a party and a picnic. Unfortunately Sapshoot forgot to lock the tail-gate and all the beer ended up all over the road.[attachment=1:to8qoe8c]op.jpg[/attachment:to8qoe8c]
Oh well we still had the parachute jump to look forward to and Sapshoot said everything would be fine as one of his brothers was the manager. We flew up to 2000 feet and all jumped out together, free-falling until we reached 500 feet then opened our parachutes. I could see some water below us and the closer I got the more I thought we would land in it. Closer and closer we came to the water and I could just make out some logs by the side of the lake and decided to head for those. Unfortunately some of Sapshoots family did not make it home.[attachment=0:to8qoe8c]wp.jpg[/attachment:to8qoe8c]
