The hut is up!! It started of as a disappointing week when we heard that the carpenter/foreman that was to do our woodwork would not be able to do it. By the next day another one had been lined up, called Kendrick, and he was able to start immediately. It was such a relief as we were beginning to imagine the project slipping back and back. Since then the first cash has been handed over and we now have a hut for the guys to store their stuff. On Monday we get water tanks and pay for the initial filling, and after that we rely on rainwater. There is a generator on site to run the power tools. We also have to get the next load of cash to pay for cement and steel rods, as they are keen to get a move on and make use of the dry season.

One of the photos will be taken from the same spot each week so it will be easier to see any progress being made.

Life in the bay is quieter now that the season is coming to an end. All the big yachts are making their way back to Europe. The restaurants are also slow and even the band seems to be playing half-heartedly; it has a real end of holiday feel to the place. But that will be good as we have a lot of hard work ahead of us
