These are really fun and I wish I had more time to attend.
Here are a couplemore videos.

Basketball. Outer Islands vs. Weloy.

Track.

Today was the canoe races men and women. I didn't have enough time to be on a team. But "paddling" is really fun and good exercise. Something I really enjoyed. We did not take pictures on this walk as this was a "purse free" stroll around the lagoon. I have published many pictures of the outrigger canoes in November, same boats. No sail boats this time, only paddling. 

It was incredibly hot and humid today. We walked, then stopped in a shady spot to watch, then walked some more just to keep moving. We could hear the announcements all around the lagoon, so we didn't miss anything. We finished our walk as they finished the races. Then it poured down rain.

For those of you who do enjoy canine updates, Shorty has his own BlogSpot called "Is that your dog?" and the web address is mydogshorty.blogspot.com.  For those of you who are not dog fans,  you may find it a welcome relief to not see so many dog pictures! Be prepared for more cute baby pictures, though, those little ones are hard for me to resist.

Here are a few clips of the sporting events. There is a fantastic sports complex in Gagil with everything you could want for sports. In addition to basketball and volleyball and baseball, they also have tennis courts. Something frojust about everyone. There is talk of building an Olympic size swimming pool for the Micronesian games which will  be held here in a couple of years.
