The helicopter in the water problem – solved!

Remember how I was wondering what that helicopter was doing in the middle of Flower Bay? I asked my friend Juan – the security gentleman here – who has been helping me with a lot of arrangements here.

He solved the problem for me.

Well, it is not a helicopter!! It is a old sailboat that ran aground. People, over time, have stripped it off its valuable parts. What remains is an old vessel lying there. In fact, if you zoom it enough, you can discern the boat and the broken mast fallen behind it. From the air, it looks eerily like a downed helicopter!

It was early July, 1991

I had finished my one month of training that had started on June 3 when I showed up for my first day of my first job.

This guy was introduced to me as somebody who will be my boss’s boss.

32 years later, we are still trying to figure out how to deal with each other terrible sense of humor (dad jokes, anyone?).
