Not much going on here in Hope Town these days. We have a lot of wind this week which is really unusual for the duration. I've seen cold front blows that last 36 - 48 hours but never 7 days! It is finally laying down today at 10 - 12 most of the day.
Several boats left yesterday and we had 12 free moorings here last night. Five came in today so still several available moorings.
Yesterday we went to the "Wine down Sip Sip" for their weekly bacchanalian party for librarians, dirt dwellers, and cruisers and we had our pictures taken for our official SOT membership cards. Don't worry we only had a glass of wine each last night and some appetizers.
All this wind has set the stage for numerous isolated rain squalls. The wind is causing massive evaporation from the sea and it builds small isolated cloud clusters that come over and rains for a few minutes. It sets up a rhythm. The wind dies, then builds briefly, then rains, and then back to the incessant blowing.
We deal with it and just run to town to walk ( I mean dinghy) and forage for food at the two tiny grocery stores here. It's kind of fun actually to see who has what. We walk the beach a little but it is very windy out there and not much fun. Karen has found some sea glass and is on the hunt for more.
The wind should be down to less than 15 tomorrow so it is time to bring my kites out and have a little fun on the beach.
