Tropical Storm Issac in St Thomas? What about the next one?

Okay I wrote the whole blog out and got that stupid little message about it not going to save anything but I usually ignore it and it works just fine but not this time. So since I'm tired and don't feel good I'm going to try using Dragon NaturallySpeaking to write the blog.

Well we had a five leaf clover that protected us from five storms so far. Now here comes the real test. Isaac is on its way to us, as can be seen in the image above. We are between the r and the t in Puerto Rico above. We have been very lucky thus far. But now we get to experience our first tropical storm up close and personal. I believe it's to be here sometime tomorrow evening which kind of sucks as it will be dark and even more spooky scary.

We moved from our other mooring into the Marina, where we feel like we have a better and more stable place to tie up to. We just have to watch for other people's stuff flying at us. Good thing we're a sailboat with a mast sticking up and not these big wide and tall fishing boats.



It appears that thing is going to get us is a lot of rain and a lot of wind as shown on the picture above. We are between the R in (Puerto) Rico.
I better get to bed so I can try to help Jettie with tying down anything that could fly off the boat.

So please send us some good vibes, good thoughts, prayers, or whatever it is that you do to send good stuff, please send it our way. Another blog tomorrow, errr later today. Over and out.
