Lightning and Fun-da

The week tried to end poorly.  It's been raining torrentially, with invading hordes of thunder and lightning; one of the troops zapped (the house? close by? not sure) the computer - a mother-board cooker.  A real pain (which the asprin of HK efficiency went a long way to alleviating).  This evening it let up for a while, and there was a super-low tide - and of course hot and sticky despite appearances - so we hit the sandbank for an hour.  The water was silty from all the run off.  Costruction featured.  Combat too.  Of course speed trials - running off 150mm of downpour induced cabin fever.  Tomorrow is Roy's 60th birthday bash - three junks, one beach - hold thumbs for the skies.  We've been thinking of you - hope the big Q's are going OK.
