STORM hours away

15 April 2018
Sunday night – STORM coming EARLY tomorrow AM – 0400 hours
WELL… the flags (American, and Bahamian) are down and stored; the dinghy is raised to the cap rail (starboard side), and secured; hatches are “ready” to be secured before retiring tonight; potable water tanks are filled; batteries are charged (wind Generator continues to crank out some pretty amazing “juice”…in these winds…
I guess we’re ready (double lines on the mooring is pretty customary for us…. So that’s been done since we arrived).
Susan is watching a country music award show… and I’m catching up on blog stuff.
We had a nice “happy hour” at SEEKER tonight…. Might be the last for a while… Monday is supposed to be sort of “nasty” here… Same storm that will hit here in the early hours of Monday is already raising havoc in Florida… and elsewhere in the USA.
We catch little bits and pieces of US News.
Earl came over to AB, and helped me put the SUP board on the side deck of AB… We’ll probably take it down again in VERO Beach… but for the storm, I’d rather it be on deck.
I know that the rest of the world was ahead of us, in watching “HOMELAND” (Claire daines, etc.)… but we’re now into the fourth season (binge watching), and that show is just weird… CIA people are “nuts”.
I know; I know; it’s just a story…. BUT…
That’s how ‘cruisers ROLL’… when there’s NO TV at all… you watch DVD movies, and DVD Series, and then TRADE with other cruisers along the way… and BINGE WATCH in between TRADES!!!
Strange existence, I know!!!
Don’t know what we’d do for excitement if there were things like NETFLIX, or HULU on a cruise boat….
