October, 2006

Our container was shipped out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Crowley. We bought a 28' Great Dane container on wheels so that we could have a storage unit for our supplies and tools upon arrival. We have been packing the container and documenting our 220 some page manifest list for more than 6 months. The container had a reservation, but Crowley failed to put the container on the ship. It has now arrived, but it is still at the Port of Limon, not yet released. Port of Limon workers have been on strike, I sure hope that is over with.

Phil has been working at the farm (finca) with our caretaker family. We now have our first fish farm pond stocked with fish. He made a pool in the back of our pickup truck to transport the fish. Very clever.
