An accident in the Amazons


More rain, heavy tropical showers and gusty winds And hot and humid.
We're in Curtis' internet-shed, checking the mail and read a terribly sad message from "Blue Marlin", from Stavanger, Norway. The 16 year old nephew on board, Sondre, has had an accident while diving into a lake in the Amazons. He was rescued from the bottom by his uncle, Rune, but had broken his neck. After a 17 hour wait he was finally flown out to Bolivar. And is now being operated on in Bergen, Norway.

And the rain is still pouring down here in Tobago.
