Them changes...


There is a change in the weather coming: rain for tomorrow (Thursday); heavy rain forecast for Friday and Saturday; tapering off on Sunday.

We had some errands to run, decided it would be best to do them on the scoots, since they may not see any action for a few days.  Coming out of Wally World, the sky looked pretty gray to the east (the direction of the Gulf)... we were going to go out for lunch, but decided to take the scoots back home, put stuff away, and swap for the truck before heading out again.  A few sneaky sprinkles got us a block or so from home; didn't amount to anything.  Well, it did add to the humidity.

Heading past our Event Center, we saw this on the sign...




Across the causeway, the wind had kicked up - white caps on the Laguna.  There is a new Wing Stop on the island - about 4 times the size of the one in Port Isabel.  Yep, lunch.

After lunch, a drive by the beach...



The sky has gotten grayer.  The wind is snapping those warning flags.  The tide is already up - the beach generally goes out a lot further than this.  No desire to walk the beach, unless you are into being sand-blasted.

I think we'll be hunkering down the next few days.

Might be a good time to get the SUP out and put a sail on it Jim. ;-)

Joan suggested the SUP - "You won't have to step down from the dock!" ;-)
