Tropical Storm Issac

Another hurricane warning, another stock up on emergency provisions–3 jars of peanut butter, wine, beer, and bourbon.  Ready!  (Actually, we do take the storms seriously and have the required provisions on hand all year round.)

Just two months ago, TS Debbie pushed the water into our canal and over the dock.  TS Issac (still not a hurricane as I type this) has pulled all the water out of the canal.  What a difference the direction of the wind makes!

Very happy TS Issac decided to veer off in another direction!

Cocktail Cruise

TS or Hurricane Issac is on his way so we took a quick cocktail cruise on Mason Creek.  Knew we probably wouldn’t be able to squeeze another one in before the storm.

Here’s a few photos from the ride.
