USA Mega Trip - July & August 2022

@Alex Has Kira just looked at you and shook her head or wondered what she got herself into?  Hopefully your adventure went uneventful and both of your are laughing at it now.

Used a girder to flip the lid off

Grainy still from the video cameras 

The hive was in the lid of the pump house, so one I had flipped it off, I duck taped a can of WD40 to the girder, then taped the button down, and spayed it into the nest

Mission accomplished

[Alex]

Now time to service the pumps..

I admire your “can do “ attitude. The grainy pic looks like a Bigfoot sighting [emoji23]

Thanks, I am all good. Just a small cut, ten stitches in for a week then have them taken out in a week (no dissolvable stitches on the island)

Got a bit carried away with that workout…

[Kasi]

Oh dear, that a nasty cut.

One from Long Island before we headed over to the Bahamas - IH-634S-WH & Navy Utilitee

Dinner the other night, Kira made a cast iron pan focaccia which was unreal

Some of the local architecture

The dock at the bottom of our house. Great place for shark sightings in the evening when the sun angle is low

[Alex]

Speaking of which….

And for those following along, got the dressing changed, no infection, and got the all clear to get back in the water.

[Matt]

Fresh wounds and sharks.  Pass.  Hard.  Pass.

Helped Mike fix his boat lift today, we were taking it in turns to get down on the lift and pretzel ourselves onto the arms of the lift for maintenance.

Getting internet out here is hard work - I came prepared with a 5G SIM card router which worked pretty well, but was not as good as it could have been (10-12mbps down, 1mbps up - fine for me, terrible for Kira uploading photos) so was very excited when my Starlink RV preorder got delivered to Kira's colleague from London in time for her to bring with her yesterday from London. It arrived on the afternoon flight to Andros today, and I have done a janky quick and dirty setup for now.

Antenna on the deck…

Cable under the doorframe and in through the air conditioner outlets

That's a bit better….

At the weekend I'll tidy up the fitting and try to mount it somewhere on the roof for the longer term.
