If you've been thinking how nice it would be to impress your friends by scampering up a coconut palm like the locals do, I've just posted a video on YouTube that shows you how to do it.
YouTube - How To Climb A Coconut Palm

I did this a couple of years ago, but start didn't posting on YouTube or anyplace else until recently

At our condominium we had a problem with coconuts falling on the roof of the pool house and breaking the red tiles. So now we have them brought down in a controlled manner a couple of times a year. These photos were taken on one of those occasions.

Next time I would like to shoot video

I tell you the fastest thing I ever saw get up a tree was a Haitian girl. Seemed built for it, really long arms and managed to keep legs and arms straight, not like the men do it with bent legs. She was amazing, about 17 or 18 and must have been up there in 15 seconds.

I heard somewhere they have competitions at this kind of thing in some small towns and villages.
