To my most amiable readers;
Twelve kilometers...that's about nine miles I'm told. That's how far I rowed today! I was out in a double boat with Deborah, our comissionaries' daughter and my dear friend. I'm getting "man hands". I've got callouses all across my palms and scrapes on my knuckles, and a rather sore back, but for all that, I just love it. After docking and draining our boat we saw a huge bright double rainbow arching from the mainland, across the channel to Tenglo Island. It was so beautiful.
As to the comedy...Dustin is also learning rowing. He is in the "first days", which basically consist of lots of embarassment, snickering bystanders, and...for him...flipping his boat in shallow water and getting soaked right up to his Nascar hat. Luckily everyone used the opportunity to teach him a new phrase as each kid that came by asked him repeatedly, "You flipped over?!" You can read his first-hand version on his site: dustinfieldnotes.blogspot.com. Enjoy.
Hope this finds you all merrily,
Your Devoted Sarah
