Where did that come from?

Tropical Storm Hermine... it's out in the Gulf and every computer model is showing it making landfall over Port Isabel. Right now, it's blowing about 50 mph and expected to be 55-60 mph when it makes landfall. There is a Tropical Storm Warning for the south Texas coast, with landfall expected Tuesday AM. We'll be working, so won't be able to watch this unfold.

It's been busy over the holiday weekend. I drove my last breakfast cruise for the season on Sunday. The last dinner cruise for the season will be on Wednesday night. Then, just scenic cruises until September 19th. While I truly enjoy the early mornings in the marina (the light is gorgeous), this will be the end of my 13 hour days... should be down to 8 to 9 hour days as we get the marina put to bed for the winter.


The wind blew like stink yesterday. The wind indicator at the marina pegs out at 25 knots, and it was pegged out most of the day! I drove cruises all day, and the guests all seemed fine with the rocky-rolly conditions. Docking was interesting with the wind blowing everything from south to west to north during the day/evening. I was a tired boy at the end of the day.
