South wind, no wind = HOT

First the wind turned to a south wind and then the wind stopped completely. It was boiling hot in Puerto Ferro. This is actually not a puerto at all but more of a bay. That meant even less wind. The bay is surrounded by mangroves and that usually equals mosquitoes. Shaggy (Jacques in Holland, Chuck in the US, Shaggy in the Caribbean) does NOT like mosquitoes.
Ria was in the lucky position of having a Breeze booster attached to one of her windows. Smart thing really. The back bunks where Mark and I sleep with the kids have two tiny windows that we have to close every time it rains and gets more humid. We had a couple of painful days until the wind sort of came back.
