Hi guys,
I hope all is going well. Things in
Kenya are pretty good. The drill is drilling perfectly. We had a little
setback today; on the well we are drilling in Mwandoni we have been hampered by
almost 5 days of rain that has put us behind schedule, but if we could test for
water today we could keep my travel plans close.
Unfortunately, when we
did our pump test to see how fast the water will recharge the well it did not
recharge fast enough for us.
The main problem is that we have hit a clay
layer that is so far, over 10 meters deep. A normal and good clay layer
is maybe 1 - 2 meters deep. The problem with clay is that water moves very
slowly through it. So we had to regroup, lick our wounds and get back to
drilling until we find that sweet water.
I added a couple photos for your
enjoyment, the last two, one is from a boy who makes his own soccer balls out
of plastic sacks and string. I thought it to be very cool and it really works
quite well. The last shot was of my sunset tonight. This is an
untouched picture. I had a huge falling sun perfectly behind this
beautiful bowbau tree. By the way, I have sent that sunset to you it should be
there in just a few more hours.
-John
