After spending close to $150 on shipping and related 'incentives' to the Mexican Postal Service and having Ikelite assure me that my housing works fine and has been pressure tested to whatever depths, its time to take it out again.
Hmmm I am not happy, not one little bit. So it was pressure tested was it Mr Ikelite? It works fine does it? So how is it that I have actually worked out whats going on here and you havent?
Following on from the Earthquake in Lima, Hurricane Dean eventually missed us in Puerto Aventuras. Though what defines 'missed' is difficult to say really.
Dean was a fast powerful Hurricane with a lot of storm surge. This ultimately meant that though the winds didn't damage too much, we did receive a vist from the ocean. Quite a few crabs moved in to take shelter from the storm.
Both Hurricane Emily and Hurricane Wilma in 2005 were certainly far more destructive than Hurricane Dean, but the water damage this time was far worse.
As some of you know I had the misfortune to be in Peru during the 8.0 earthquake. To make matters worse I happened to be on the 11th floor of a lima Hotel less than 100 miles from the epicenter. Pretty scary stuff, I can tell you.
Strange situation though, as I was discussing Lilianas evacuation From Mexico from Hurricane Dean at the time the earthquake struck. Two natural disasters in one week. Thats a new one for me.
But anyway to let you know. I and everybody I know here is fine.
