And the winner of, "who's missed the first ferry," is Hillbilly Bill.

     That's right, one has already missed the ferry, Bill. Granted, who among us hasn't slept through their alarm on Monday morning, but if your late here, you miss the boat. Also, if you miss the boat, you owe the crew coffee the next day. The second time you miss the boat, dinner, for the crew! You are gonna be everybody's "babe" that night Bill. The good news, he caught the next ferry out, and is safe and sound where he belongs. We also picked up an extra, Rod.

     Not bad, not bad, Rod makes a fine addition to our crew (he is mine now Richie). So, that is me plus five, and soon we are looking to get a few more.

     On the island by 7 am. and finally we can actually get some work done, and yes, the fork truck has arrived!

   
     Teddy, our material management engineer, moving our trailer closer to the work area. If you are wondering, yes he dented our brand new trailer, but it is a little dent. With men, and material, we can begin building form work for a foundation, which is what we were hired to do.

Form work for the spread footings

Matt begins rebar

     As scheduled, we received our office trailer...

 Which was looking like it might not happen because of sea conditions, which brings me to,no ferries running tomorrow, that's right, we are not working here tomorrow. And, my rebar delivery is already canceled for Wednesday. I am thinking this is going to take a little more planning. I first want to check what the island has experienced for weather this time of year in the past. Then I need to check the long range forecast. After that, the tide charts. The ferry can only take concrete mixers during high tide, which change everyday. Hopefully I can get a good two week "look ahead" for concrete pours, schedule them, two weeks out, and make a foundation.
