Alright, this one was too good not to share, but I'm gonna have make it quick... There are 2 types of wind turbines used by blueEnergy, tilt up and ladder-style (not the technical names). Anyway, one of them you service by tilting the entire pole down to the ground and doing repairs there. The other, you climb 100ft into the air and lower the turbine down. The second type was getting serviced yesterday, which sparked a burning desire to hike up the tower and get a good look around. So, after half jokingly suggesting that I'd like to climb up, Stephanie and I found ourselves strapped into harnesses and slowly making my way up the metal framework to the swaying platform above. Despite the rather incredulous stares from the workshop boys, we made it all the way up and thoroughly enjoyed the view. Being that high up offered a stunning panorama of all of Bluefields, the Corn Islands and more. Quite a treat for a Friday afternoon.
