The rain did abate but then the wind came in, and with almost constant speeds of 30+ knots... It was a few windy days.
Being without simple things like power, gas, and water gets frustrating very quickly.. We hadn't showered in days since no running water, our gas had run out so we couldn't cook anything. Boats were still not arriving on the island with supplies.
We spent the last few days holed up indoors waiting for the power to come on so we could charge phone, pc, etc up each time it came back.. If we weren't home waiting, we were at Vibe Lounge, playing cards, settlers of catan, and eating.. There is simply nothing more to do but wait it out.
Yesterday, I went searching for a loaf of bread and milk, riding around the south of the island in the stinging rain, I drove past Thai navy helicopters who had arrived to evacuate tourists to an awaiting aircraft carrier. To be honest, I would rather stay here than battle the 4m waves to the mainland!
Anyway, as each day passes, the weather improves and the forecast in 3-4 days looks beautiful...
