The winds seem to have finally settled a bit but I’m staying one more day before returning. After a breakfast of bacon and eggs and crackers (my toast had gone mouldy and fed the fish) I started doing some work on this website when Rob and Lauren came by and asked if I wanted to join them for a walk. The beach which walked along was covered in smooth round rocks of all sizes, the smallest of which were golf ball sized and ranging up in size from there; making traversing the shore rather difficult while wearing sandals. After managing to make it past the beach to the hills we encountered thick gorse and grass hiding rocks but climbed up anyway, but Lauren was having a difficult time of it in her open sandals without any tread and the descent was treacherous for her. Upon return I added the pictures you see below and realized that I’d somehow managed to delete all the pictures and links in my main calendar pages. Luckily I’d done a backup of my system two days earlier and proceeded to restore those pages but I soon found out that using Microsoft’s Windows 7 backup program in “let Windows choose what to backup” mode meant that they didn’t like my website and opted not to backup that directory! So I spent from noon until just around sunset (when I popped up to take the last picture for the day) editing and fixing the calendar and other pages which I’d mangled. At least I was doing it in tropical weather and I’m still recovering from my first sunburn of the trip so it wasn’t a total loss of a day.
