There's very little to write about these days. I've been hitting the trails hard with my mountain bike, my tricked out early-nineties triple-butted Easton frame, recently spray painted flat black, full XTR and Race Face, as the weather has been phenomenal, dry and windy with daytime temperatures in the high twenties. Smoking along foot hardened single track with laughing kids yelling "Good Morning!" irrespective of the time of day, dodging goats and chickens and local bikers loaded well beyond all reasoning. I've been having fun. The SAR bird has been unserviceable, as getting parts into the more remote regions of Tanzania is a struggle, so my SAR training keeps getting pushed back, and the rig has moved in quite close to base again, so the short hops are over far too quickly. I do miss the two hundred miles legs out into the miserable weather of the North Atlantic. I think I do miss being at home as well, but I am here, so best make the most of it. I lost my underwater camera in Mombasa last year so purchased a Digitech underwater bag for my NEX7, and I've been experimenting with settings. Not quite there yet but it's coming.....
