Typhoon Ewiniar

Toguchi Beach

Typhoon Ewiniar hit last weekend. However, it turned more west than expected, so the winds weren't as bad as they had originally predicted. Within the first 2 hours of the storm though, we heard a loud bang outside. We couldn't figure out what it was because it was night time and hard to see. Dave finally realized that it was our AFN satellite dish. Part of our balcony railing broke, where the brace for the satellite dish is attached, causing the dish to crash into the side of the house. Dave tied it up so the dish didn't fly away.

Our BBQ planned for that night was changed into a typhoon party. We all stayed up late waiting to watch the Germany vs. Portugal world cup game( 4am), but by the time the game started it was only Dave who showed enough love for the game of soccer to stay awake for the entire match.

Glad you weren't hit hard by Ewiniar! We got winds on Monday, and that's all! Very frustrating that they sent FH out on the ship for several days, for nothing!
