We didn’t do a whole lot yesterday except sleep and eat. We got to our tents at about 4AM after our escort from the airport got lost on the way to camp. It really doesn’t feel like it has been 18 months since we left this place (not counting my April trip). Nothing much has changed except that it is hotter than any other time I have been here. I started feeling sick right after I got off the plane and it has hit me pretty good now. Today was just about miserable. I only slept about 4 hours and after eating breakfast I thought a short workout would help me feel better – it didn’t. We went down to the port at 1 PM and started preflighting the aircraft the maintenance guys had built up the night before. I thought I was doing alright until I got back from the test flight. I went inside to fill out the logbook and I found that in addition to not being able to cool off. I couldn’t focus for more than a few minutes at a time. I kept finding myself just staring at the computer screen. I was dizzy and couldn’t stand for more than a few minutes at a time. I was drinking constantly but I think it was a combination of illness and lack of adjustment that did me in. I hope I do better tomorrow because it looks like I will be dong 5 more test flights.
