Relief supplies

We started out early today...on the road by 5:30 AM.  United Nations Police and military came again to provide security and did a great job.  Managed to unpack six containers, transfer the supplies to small boats, unload the small boats onto trucks which drove them to Castel-Pere where we unloaded them one final time into one of three warehouse spaces.  Whew!  Thought I was tired yesterday! 
Looked like we were gonna lose the ten 20' containers but Nathalie came to the rescue.  She used her charm and convinced the contractor working on the new wharf to help us out.  He agreed for a modest sum so a crane was used to transfer the containers from the small boats to the flatbed truck you see in the previous post.
The journalist from the Portland Press Herald, Bill Nemitz, came ashore to interview me and see Castel-Pere up close.  That will be the Herald's story tomorrow morning.
