A day with the Feds -230

Okey dokey! So here goes.

Somehow call it luck, fate or devine intervention.I have ended up in a backpackers lodge using reasonably priced internet. I have had comms with a bunch of good friends, and when I saw James in the hotel a few hours ago he said he would read his “Economist” for another 10 mins and then do an update. Clearly the lad has drifted off into slumberland.

Well I can’t hold it against him, after all he did spend the day with da Feds! A job well done! So much time and energy goes into admin and especially this session. So I hope he is asleep. We are hoping that the admin will bare fruit in the morning and our friendly Feds can bid us farewell.

The next consideration, HF or no HF is the weather.Full respect to the elements. With all the admin distractions we find ourselves with less than perfect conditions for a longish flight. So the thought is to sleep on it, wake early and get our butts to the Bullet, then hope to get the paper that will make flight possible, get into the Bullet without refuelling, still enough gas from the last flight, zip over to Maui, fill up, from a pump using a credit card and self service, checking weather finally and then decide if we shoot east or book into the “Kite Beach” hotel and work on our kite boarding for a couple of days until the weather is good.

Jeez, See how sensible the HF makes you!

So GOOD night everyone, I am gonna go see how my Captain is doing. Love you all!
