Windy Weather

The east wind has been relentless since we returned to Hope Town. It has been blowing 20-30+ mph, and sometimes close to 40. Going outside is a challenge and we've had to really hang on to our French doors. It certainly has made us glad that we are in the apartment though .At least today the wind eased down to about 20 mph from the south so we were able to sit outside again. Tomorrow we have a cold front coming and that's when the wind will be behind us and the porch is a haven.

Last night must have been really rough on the ocean beach as the shipwreck Ellipsis broke up into pieces. The owner had actually taken everything off the boat and stripped it right down to removing the engine and ports. The plan was to wait until calm weather and high tide, and take the boat out and sink it offshore in really deep water. Instead, Mother Ocean had a different idea and there is very little left. It took a lot of pounding to break this heavily built Westsail 32 in half.
