I've not posted for a bit - we've been quite busy in the shop last few weeks and we've been getting ready for a 12 day trip to Bluefields Nicaragua, to help out/hang out/share ideas with the people who work with Blue Energy (blueenergygroup.org).
So yesterday George, DanF, Rich, and myself woke up early and took off to Denver International Airport. We flew to Houston TX, and then to Managua in Nicaragua. We spent the night at a house in what's said to be an 'upscale' neighborhood here... very interesting. Shortly we'll leave to run a few errands (pick up a motor, find some resin, go to a hardware store) and then take a small airplane to Bluefields.
The next week and a half we'll spend playing with wind turbines, looking at some ofthe problem here and hopefully sharing ideas. I'll post about this and our other adventures every couple days or so - with pictures! Nice that they have wireless internet where we stay! (no pictures today)
A note to the editors... this should really go in diaries at this point but Im going to keep it in 'site news' (or some place) because lots of friends and family will be watching and I don't think many of them would find it in diary.
