it poured for 9 hours straight in the Virgin Islands today!
What does it mean when the boys are huddled around the saloon table all morning?
And the girls are playing solitaire in the cockpit?? It either means they are all squabbling, or, that it is pouring rain outside!
Yep, it is pouring rain. It rained torrentially from 630 this morning until 330 this afternoon. Yes, the islands needed it. Yes, we also know where a lot more leaks are in hatches!
We managed to make it over from Maho to Red Hook. No one wanted to snorkel, no one wanted to swim, we could not see to sail, so we waited...and waited....
The boys went to get some provisions in Red Hook, and i believe they came back with more water then groceries in the bags. We were also going by Simeons new boat, when we found out a boat behind it had snapped a line, grounded, and was dragging onto the new but not taken posession off yacht of Simeons...
That meant we helped get things squared away...
The guests and me, walked around Red Hook to get off the boat. We were supposed to pick up a fishing boat today, but there was just no point in this weather!
We are anchored up in between Lovango and Congo Cay..Was surprised to see Century Plants in bloom. They had basically been wiped out by a blight in the last decade, but appear to be making a comeback in a lot of places.
Tons of current here, but we can actually see the bottom from the surface! Great sunset again tonight. We are praying the weatherman is wrong and it is REALLY NOT going to thunderstorm until at least Saturday!
