Keeping an eye on it and doing my due diligence. 73N is looking pretty good right now!
I don't want to go anywhere near Africa.... ever. All it takes is one mosquito, one fly bite, get some of the wonderfully clean water on your food and you have the rest of your life to remember it. Paranoid? Yup... so be it. I am. Hazard pay will provide an incentive for many.. but not me... and I am all for paying guys more that want to take that risk.... the side benny is that it keeps that garbage off my line.
