In the Wet season we had to row
the old Company's leaky boat 20 miles out to the strip, and if
we had enough old pilot shirts we would sew 'em together to have the luxury of a sail
You had a boat? Looxury!
We had to
swim 50 miles to work in the pouring rain, dodging crocodiles just to get to the strip.
The sun was beating down, burning our backs in the freezing water. It took so long to swim this great distance we had to leave before the sun rose just to get there on time!
