When we first arrived in Madang, Josh went to see if our other dingy and our other generator had been repaired. So Josh removed the water pump off our still defunct other generator, brought it back to the Odyssey, and installed it. The sick have been healed, the broken mended, and the generator aboard Odyssey works. The air conditioner works, in fact everything is working. So now I sit in my cabin with its temperature at 71 degrees Fahrenheit, while outside in Madang it is a stifling 90 degrees.
Electrical power performs miracles.
I am glad to have it back in our lives. I know I shall miss the constant stately motion of the sea in my life. The day after tomorrow I will start my long 40 hour flight home. This is a lovely town where many of the trees are festooned with flying foxes, hanging in clusters like ripe fruit from the upper branches of their roosting trees. During the day they appear to fan themselves gently with their wings.
