The weather the past two days has been amazing...and this morning we got a nasty storm...i was woken up to the sound of thunder and violently whipping windscoops...in my underwear and fowl weather gear i managed to salvage our precious cooling mechanisms...and various other items strewn about deck. Dad's leaving tomorrow and i am preparing myself for solo activities...today i walked up to the top of an observatory hill(that felt like a freakin mountain) and checked out an old fort...the view was fantastic. I am on a mission for a kayak and can't wait to find other local nuggets...
