In the darkness the lightning on the horizon are even more threatening. The wind has freshened up the evening are very strong. The waves on the shores are steep and high. It is increasingly clear that this is not a lake, this is a sea. Far out on this sea, a storm rages. I'm standing on the beach of Lake Malawi, and stare into the darkness. Somewhere there in this vast area, the wind and waves have free play, is transported a seriously injured in a small dinghy. He's way here.
Today during the day, so we were the guests, told On the other side, place a traffic accident with a motorcycle. A young man was seriously injured, but could not be transported.
We should not worry if the same would appear to an ambulance in front of the small hotel right on the Lake.
The owners of small hotels here in Senga Bay, has this boat, because what now looks back on his way. About the Lake of Mirango back to Senga Bay (about 35-40 km). On board of these two men and then seriously injured. By car to the hospital had long hours rocking and bouncing along on the dirt road is, and he would not have survived. Therefore, our host was asked on his boat to take over the transport. It is the only boat with a motor in a wide radius.
I wonder if this trip is by motor boat on the stormy sea is not much worse.
Nothing to see. Everything is dark. The hotel generator makes overtime tonight so far is the light of the hotel to look over the lake, and the skipper can act accordingly. No one else has this electricity. Even the fishing village of about 1 km further completely unlit.
Late at night, voices can be heard, and a stretcher is brought away from the beach. The ambulance was waiting for about 30 minutes driving time to the hospital to Salima.
