Our first days





On our way home from church on Sunday, I was able to feed a manatee that hangs out by the fishing boats on Spanish Wells. We have to take a ferry to get from Eleuthera to Spanish Wells.












A view of one end of Eleuthera coming in for our landing on Saturday











We caught a very small plane from Nassau into the island. The whole airline employs 8 people.











I caught my buddy Kevin singing on the front porch of the training center. Can't argue with the view















We started working late Sunday night to beat the heat on Monday morning. We began digging the and leveling out our site for the new cistern. Notice, there is no "soil", but only limestone and old coral. It is not at all easy to "level" these materials. On Monday we got the base poured by mixing our concrete one wheelbarrow at a time and pouring almost 6 yards of material. We start in the morning laying the first of our 450 concrete block we hand unloaded off the truck today. Not complaining, but its quite exhausting! Not a better place to be working though!
