Sunday Planning

The "yacht club" is starting to feel like home. I had an amazing chicken curry for lunch, with ugali. The owner took pains to teach me how to eat it correctly - using only my right hand. I love eating with my fingers and at the club the waitress comes around with soap, warm water, and a basin so that we can clean up before/after food. A luxury I enjoy.

In the evening we (Olivier, Kimmi, Phil, and I) spent some time trying to predict the weather this week.... debating a Monday departure vs waiting until Friday.

Probably not dangerous, but almost certainly very uncomfortable. And that's all a few days away so anything could change while we have very limited communications/data.

Exciting.

Despite having at least three weather data/forecasting services available... it still comes down to an element of faith and/or accepting risk.

In the meantime, I enjoyed watching kids frolic in the warm sunset. Life is presently quite pleasant.
