Went up to the boat today
"Peter Hendra" wrote in message ... Hi Karin, I'm afraid that I can't feel sorry for you. Down here in Trinidad it is quite the opposite. Undertaking any physical effort at all means that perspiration literally pours off. Trying to hand sand something for example means that you have to move your head to one side of the piece of work so that sweat does not drip and cause the sandpaper to clog. Shorts offer no protection from the sun and trousers are too hot so I wear a sarong all day - fine at home in Malaysia where everyone wears them, but here.. the comments have died down now about my "dress". It gets so hot during the early afternoon that sitting down for a break and a cup of coffee usually results in falling asleep. I would just love to be able to stand in your wonderful invigorating cold for just a few minutes now and then during the working day. If everything is frozen, how long is your boating season? cheers Peter I can empathize, Peter. In mid August, we can have spells of near 100 degrees (on a real thermometer, not those fake European ones with the funny scale) and humidity around 80%. I tend to "rain" when I get even a little warm anyway, so when it's like that I'm one miserable puppy. Today it's beautiful, around 60 degrees and maybe 40% humidity. My idea of Heaven. Rivers are mostly clearing of ice now where there's any flow, but the bay still has major ice sheets. Should clear in another week or two, I'm scheduled for launch the week of April 22nd, so I have just about a month now to get my "on the hard" work done. Karin |
