At the lodge

Internet time is limited and I don't think I'll be able to update regularly at all. Everybody's working hard here on the island, putting in 15 hour days to get things ready for next week when the guests start coming in. Been flying into outpost camps all week and hauling logs and boat motors through the bush.

It's such a shift coming up here. Days don't really mean all that much since everyday is just as much a working day as the last and I've already lost track of the date. Things will get smoother next week when the guests start rolling in and we get into more of a routine.

One thing about working at a fishing lodge like this is that nothing is ever the way it's supposed to be. Nothing works the first time and everything puts up a fight and everything is always a test; of endurance, of strength, of patience, especially when you're not sure how to do most things and you do everything wrong the first time. The people who run this place are amazing though and the boss works harder than anybody else. More details on that later.

From the island, take care.
