The trip across the channel was "fun". The Breezy Sea has been back in operation, and it was the selected mode of transportation. A large load of lumber (1x4s for the hospital and 2x12s to be ripped for the new guest house) filled the cargo area. Most of us ended up sitting on the lumber using life vests to soften the seat; a couple folks rode on the roof. The winds have been strong recently, and in the middle of the channel we were in 3' swells. The boat rolled gently side to side (and a few time not so gently). The load and waves combined to stretch the crossing to 1:50 instead of the 1:20-1:30.
It was great to greet the folks here again; they are still happy to see us return. Progress on both the new hospital and the new guest house is continuing. The dedication of the hospital is scheduled for September 28 so there is a clarity to the focus of that work. In addition there are meetings among the medical and administrative personnel with respect to operational practices and procedures that need to be in place when the hospital opens.
Our task this week is to put up the ceiling in a room of the new guest house. Tomorrow we start in earnest.
