Good morning

We woke up to clouds and sunshine the start of the big storm that it expected to hit us tomorrow . We had all of 2 minutes of rain and now it's clearing up, you have to love the Caribbean weather wait a second and it changes. I've spent some time this morning updating the blog with pictures enjoy them, I'm now all caught up.

So not sure what the plan is for today, a long workout and swim for me. Great workout but no swim today I waited too long and the storm decided to sneak up on me. As predicted the high winds, clouds came in some rain but not a lot. When it rains here as with all of the Caribbean it pours but doesn't last long. We had a late lunch and good thing we did as we were sitting here a huge cat boat came in from Beaches resort looking for shelter and he was looking to dock right beside us...Oh my that was making the skipper and I rather nervous. He made several attempts and finally made it in and didn't hit us but he did smash against the other dock several time I'm sure his boss won't be thrilled about that! Several boats came in today but the marina isn't full which we figured it would be .

We made our way into town after that fun diversion to the day, more exploring and some shopping, I'm looking for ear buds no luck on that one but we did see some pretty funky office stores. The roads are flooding already with huge puddles when it rains here there is no place for the rain to go. I was worried about our little car Kelly (that's the cars name) would get lost in the puddles. Guess what we found a Wine Store :-) it was a very interesting place 3 security guards and after you paid a young man took the wine to your car. The prices were high on the wine but the beer was cheap you just never know what you are going to get on this Island no real consistency with the pricing.
 
Once back at the boat we walked to the Market Place a nice store on the resort property that sells food, supplies etc. we are cooking pizza on the boat tonight. Walking in the wind is fun it really pushes you back, but honestly we have been in way worse winds on this trip.

Quiet night some tele or perhaps cards.

Chat tomorrow.
