Arrived Dlg on May 09. Rolf was there to meet me at the airfield. Big Pink made it as well..although a little worse for wear…the zipper blew out and the seams were leaking…miraculously nothing was lost. A couple hours later I was in the engine room of the Questar wrestling hydraulic hoses. Being as how I was a little dozy from jet lag…I managed to pinch my thumb and raise an impressive blood blister under the nail. About midnight bedded down in the fo’csle..I woke up a couple hours later in the freezing dark..with my thumb throbbing…I pressed on it till the blister
burst..ah sweet relief…I woke up with a bloody thumb. Welcome back to the Bay.
