(Pic of Issac sometime today on his way to visit Castro!)
Well we made it through the 2nd night of Issac with no problems. Actually I think it rained more last night than the night before. We did have one casualty on the boat. The US Virgin Island flag line broke, then the flag hooked itself to the end of the spreader and then got ripped off of the line. I thought about having one of the million fishermen try to hook it and pull it down but it started raining again and we went inside and I forgot about it til I kept hearing something clanging around 2 a.m. Damn! I need to get a picture to post in here as well. I might still try asking the fishermen if we get over there before it flies off as it has my two fairly expensive flag hooks on the flag. I am so glad that is the only thing that happened.
Air conditioning! I so want some damn air conditioning. I want my air conditioned. I will take it just in our berth and the others can suffer. Ok.. the whole boat can have it. I think I might have solved where to put the generators. I think we should make the back berth on the port side, a generator / work room. I think the a/c unit should go in there possibly and the hot ass air from the refridgerator needs to be plumbed outside of the boat, unless we want it inside for heat. It's a thought anyway. Sucks that it's one of the bigger cabins.
Well here is a pic of what we are in for now... both are 20 or 30% but I think Issac started out that way too.


Hurricane season ends November 30th which seems like a long way off right now. We are planning on sailing back to Texas for a visit somewhere around that time frame, but I know it will be earlier as Jettie wants to be at her parent's house for Thanksgiving, her birthday (12/14) and of course Christmas. But that means we have to leave in late September or the first of October and not dink around too much in order to make it back with time for breakdowns and such. But it has been a busy year for named storms already given we are into Joyce (10th storm worthy of a name). ::sigh:: Just gotta wait and see what the decision is later this fall.


Well, it is raining pretty heavily, so I am going to try to hunker down and go to sleep withOUT the hatch open and no A/C. ::heavy sigh::
Over and out!
