Block by Block

In spite of the heat the progress continues. The rains in the evening provide lower temperatures overnight, and the conditions for sleeping are much more bearable. We were able to mark the location of many interior doors, and Barry was able to begin laying corners. Another block mason arrived Tuesday so we should be able to make substantial progress as long as the supply of block is maintained. For now the block is coming from Port; that entails a 2-hour drive up the coast than a 2-hour boat trip across the channel. At the present time the Breezy Sea is out of commission with a malfunctioning starter so all channel crossings are in the Wesleyana. It is hoped that soon a block maker here in Anse-a-Galet will be able to begin making blocks for us.
