Tatt av vinden

The day started with jogging in the jungle. That was a nice way to start my
birthday. Eva of course run a longer trip and much faster than I. But I am used
to that by now. We started out 6:30, just after sunrise. Eva saw a wild
pig, and we heard the hauling monkeys all the way. One place a tree had fallen
over the road, because of the wind, and the military came and cut it away. The
road had suffered from heavy rain when the hurricane Matthew passed not to far
from here. The heavy rain during a hurricane may streach much further out form
the center than the strong winds.
Changeing the valve in the toilet outlet seems to be a tricky obstacle to
overcome. So far no solution. Gives me bad vibes. Hopefully I can borrow a hot
air gun tomorrow and have som help. Luckily the electic system in the boat has
survived the many thunderstorms here during the summer. Now it is winter here,
and that is the dry season. But the winter temperatures are different from ours
back home, today we had 32 degrees here, and that is centigrades of
course.
The winds are really strong now for this place. About 25 knots in the
marina. And the forecast is that it shall last for a week. But that is part of
this kind of life, you let the weather decide, and 25 knots may not be so heavy,
but beating into it for three days and nights or more is something we only do if
it s quite necessary. So we shall just wait and
see. |
