149.2mm and our first medivac
That was the rain we had in a twenty four hour period. My last post should have been MM as well. Tried to change it but with no luck. I am famous for hitting the wrong keys and when it comes to math my family knows it is not my strongest suit.
This is the weekend of rain and wind. Would be great if we had a fireplace but heard that years ago some keeper burned down a place with one. That must have been a real long time ago. Oh well just turn up the heat and keep warm. Well I am up early and looking for my morning coffee so off I go for now.. have a good day humm wonder is anyone other than my family is reading this well maybe my friends as well. Shall keep it up tho keeps them in touch and to see how sane I am keeping out here.. Take care all later from the Bluff
Well later in the day and what a day it has started out ... Not just the rain but we did our first medivac from the station. It was a broken ankle turned out to be but could have been a leg or more. We put the person on a stretcher moved them down to the dock and then called the fast boat from the village to come and get the person. That ment having to lift them down in the stretcher on the hook to the waiting boat. That was a brave thing to do not so sure I could do that so afraid of heights but then one does what one has to do in such cases. We have learned since that it was a broken ankle and that they will have to do a full medivac to a hospital not sure which one they will take them to. I must say not a nice thing to have happen but we did learn that we need to keep the village numbers that are important down below so if we need them fast they will be there. And that having a private line is a good thing. We still had to notify the Guard but the guys handled it so well. Me well I did what was asked of me well tried.. We can only hope that she will be home soon. At least the rain has stopped and the weather will be good for someone to come and get her . Well guess that makes my day here at the Bluff we are always learning and this is one learn I hope that we do not have to do again. But we do know how we all work in this sort of situation and that is a good thing. Bye from the Bluff for today. Will keep posting.. for my family and friends.. so they know I have not gone off the deep end..smile
