Airport says their generator is back up now, so that's good anyway. No telling when GEBE will be back up.

GEBE possibly came back on some places at 8 am, but not everywhere. They posted at approximately 8:30 AM, as follows:
"Our technicians are diligently working to bring engines 14 and 15 online in building 4. Gradually, cables are being restored. The Hospital, School districts and other priority areas have been restored. We kindly ask for the public's patience as we restore all other areas. "

Yes lol , but will wait till the demand drops hence the price , but we have two freezers , hence no problem with spoilage and also looking to start with Solar Hart to deal with the pool pump . Will figure it out next year , still have to deal with our Son doing Visual Arts and Graffic Design in Toronto studies and he will go back and finished as we had told next year . Sa la vie life Bro at least he is totally focused on his Art from his head . Blessings .
For Scuba lol sorry.

And Ps : Time has changed , my Dear loving Wife work shows figures and not liquid cash , hence with our assets , our two children will actually see $$$$ down the road . They have no worries plus they will just make money from our property in Beacon Hill but not by selling just good management . Proud .

When they say "island wide", is it the whole island or just the Dutch side?

But at least not during night sleeping time lol . You mean when you need lights and AC. Those rose colored glasses must work pretty good.

Based on GEBE's Facebook page, it appears there has been loadshedding almost every single day for the past ten days, including the weekend. Best wishes to anyone going soon.
