Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Last night we had a dandy storm.  First the lightning started.  The entire sky was lit up by the lightning longer than it was dark in between lightning flashes.  I have never seen anything like it.  Then the wind started blowing and rocking us even in this wonderfully protected harbor.  Then the rain began falling.  It sounded like hail hitting the boat.  It didn't last very long, but it was quite a show.  This morning the sun was out, but the temperature was considerably cooler than yesterday. 

John and I walked into town for yet another look around.  We stopped in a bar for a drink and enjoyed the locals for awhile.  This is a nice, small town. On the way back, we watched a large sailboat being launched at the ramp.  It took awhile for the guys to step up the mast and then the semi backed the trailer into the water.  The cool thing was that the trailer was attached to the semi by a cable so that the trailer and the boat were backed into the water, but the semi stayed up on dry concrete.  It was pretty cool to watch. 

We spent the rest of the day getting things ready to make the trip home.  We'll see you all soon.
