Darn those hurricanes!!!!

We can't believe both Lee and Katia are both capable of bringing us nasty weather!  In Onset now, staying for a few days until we can get a good handle on what is going on. The wind is from the SW and supposed to be up tomorrow (already building) so we can't go anywhere anyway.  We'll be here until at least Wednesday, and then hopefully we can make a decision on where to go.  The big decision is if we can go south, directly to someplace on the east coast in a couple of long days or if we will need to step our way through Long Island Sound, through New York, and down the coast.
On a good side, we found ourselves anchored beside friends from the Bahamas in 2009, Colleen and Bruce, from Canada!  It's great to see them again.  And, we finally got to really meet new acquaintances Christine and Peter, from NC.  Our boats have been passing each other for several weeks now.  Colleen and Bruce are friends with a French couple from Ottowa, so we all got together for drinks and then pizza in town.  It's wonderful to catch up with friends and make new ones.

be safe. Thinking about you it is raining like a son of gun here right now...tornado warning Roanoke, Bedford, and they think one hit Pulaski...

On a lighter note we now have a Group page on FB for Windy Gap Mountain Village...for those that were interested...17 so far...yours truly set it up. Added a photo album for houses, and another page for a list of residents blogs...wasn't sure if you would be interested in listing yours...just the link and if anyone is listed they would know where to find the link...did mine and so did Ali...

Back to work been a nice very quiet and productive 3 days.
