Well, some good news, and then some not so good
news.
The good news is that after a short stay in
hospital Simon and Amanda have been released, they and Ina manged to get bitten
by a mosquito carrying the Dengue virus. The kids seem to have shaken it
off fairly well, Ina is still suffering.
Now for the not so good news. After much
discussion, and investigating, it apears that most of the Pacific is
covered by mosquitoes carrying this virus. A second infection, if untreated,
because one is sailing from one island to another, could have some nasty results
This combined with the fact that Ina will be on her own quite a lot, whilst
I return home to work, means that we have had to make the decision NOT to go
into the pacific. We will instead go to panama, then turn around and head back
into the carribbean, and then up the east coast of the states, and try to sell
the boat when it gets to Newport.
Needless to say the atmosphere on board is not
very happy right now. I for one am particularly saddened by this.
That's all for
now.
