  1. Brisas report Tues 6/28 Still no water. Tank near empty now, using our water in it just for drinking and cooking. Buckets from the rain yesterday flushed toilets but they are now empty. Water IS coming is at the Bocci court here. Filled up this morning. This is a good thing !
  2. Yup , progress on this will be a mess for awhile. Streets are narrow and crowded already. Oh well....progress is a good thing. We'll survive.
  3. Brisas Boquetenas. Took a shower in the downspout today with a brief rain shower we had. Refreshing. Got several buckets for reserve. Toilets will get flushed in the morning. We still have some water in our tank but it's getting pretty low. Is this what we have to look forward to with the new water project?.....or is something else happening. Curious minds want to know.

  4. There were big tide changes with a moon approaching full. My hunch is that might increase the rips a bit. That said, it's usually a large swell that is the culprit at that beach. The wave comes straight in and current runs up the beach then out with outgoing rips. Pics of that drowning scene looks like very little swell...flat actually. Drinking added to the mix with some current and drop offs might have been part of the cause.
  5. My heart breaks for you at this time. Bill and I send our love and prayers. Alison
  6. Exactly...possibly an awarenes of his absurd addiction to the stock piling of more money than he or his family could ever enjoy?...but then again, probably not.
  7. For a time in Hawaii I worked as a resident manager of a two building condo complex with a pool. I recall every Summer the condo board would get on me as to why we had such an increase in water use and were always suggesting we had a pool leak. It was a 20,000 gallon pool and it would go down 3 inches in a few days. Heat here is much more intense and with the dry climate in Verano I would imagine water consumption would be high due to evaporation. Pool cover make sense....but here and again, you use the pool you have to take off the cover. Just one more thing that becomes a pain. Now if I had a gzillion dollars to blow...this one would be a nice idea: ( it telescopes )
  8. Consider wind and debris...leaves and dust. When you want to hop into the pool in the Verano season...you may heave to be spending time cleaning, backwashing and treating the pool for algae. Backwashing involves water loss and refill during the dry season....so make sure you are in an area that does not go dry for days at a time. In the Invierno season, it's not just the cold it's the 5 inches of rain you can get in a day. You may need to dump some water. Make sure the pool is in a secure foundation away from hillsides. There's a reason many local pools end up empty....

    Found on the Costa Rica side of the Burica peninsula by fishermen. It was stored in a boat house for 2 years before it stopped stinking.
