it feels like more than a month since we arrived back in Bali! but it's only been 16 days! it's great to be busy and getting bookings and more bookings the minute we got back home. we work 7 days a week and though it's not always intense all 9-10 hours at work, it does take toll on us after a while. The hubby and i got the flu bug. That brings me to the story of him being all brave and chivalrous.
I think he has a lung infection from trying to be a hero few days back. He was on his way back from diving on the traditional jukung boat and saw some 9 divers floating not too far away. the rain and wind started and the sea got really choppy that if you were standing where i am, you cannot see the islands at all! and they are less than 1 km away from shore. I was with a friend whose partner was out at sea with hubby and i think we both started praying and saying the hail mary under our breath. You see : we didn't know that the boys were out there helping the stranded divers out. We only know they have been out and due back a while ago.
So to cut a long story short, hub drank quite a bit of sea water trying to help the non-english speaking japanese from one boat to another when the other fishing boats heard the horn and came to help.
The lord definitely heard our prayers that day! in less then 5 minutes which felt like forever, the wind stop, the sky clear up though the boat was still not in sight... it feels like forever before we saw them plodding along from the corner.. relief came to us all...
As 2nd in command in the company, you just got to keep cool and think positive and think of plan B if they don't turn up. Mother nature is something you just respect and not take for granted. I am soooooo relieved when i saw hubby and the boat and all guests and boat guy onboard...
... oooh it's 5pm. time to go see the doc now!
