Friday, August 21
We had a big breakfast this morning of French toast, scrambled eggs and all the fixins. This is Scott’s favorite breakfast, affectionately known as the Christmas breakfast. Then the crew began packing up for the trip home. By ten o’clock we had everything loaded on the tram and they were resting up for the ride home. Mister Wesley and I spent some alone time on the bench overlooking the ocean with Gwenivere lying underneath eating some grass.
It was foggy this morning. Air temp was high and water temp in the upper sixties making for a good fog bank. Ethan called around 1030 and asked if they were ready to go. After running the stuff down the tram it was into the dingy to transport everything out. The tide was high and this was the safest way to get the transfer done. Everything and everyone made the transfer just fine and they headed out the cove in the fog.
Needless to say we were sorry to see them go. But, we will be home soon. I believe everyone had a good time and enjoyed the island. They had hot weather, a clear day and experienced some fog. They plan to drive all the way back to the eastern shore today.
Meanwhile Brenda and I started securing things for the upcoming storm. Prediction for tonight is for thunder storms and rain. This is associated with a front coming through, not hurricane Bill. We should start feeling the effects of Bill tomorrow through Monday and that forecast has it tracking east of our location, but we will have high surf, waves and wind. I’ve got the camera ready.
It is now 2030 and there have been tornado warnings for many areas around us. Reports of lines down, roofs blown off and high winds abound. I am looking out the window now and see lightning and the wind is gusting to over thirty knots.
Cool!
Oh wow...I almost forgot. WESLEY FOUND LAWRENCE!
Lawrence was sitting on a windowsill right in plain sight. He didn't say anything to Wesley but he did keep his word and allowed himself to be found. Wesley was ecstatic!
