I woke up to bright flashes of lightening but no thunder....strange...how far away does that mean the storm is? How far out in the Gulf is the storm to see the lightning but not hear the thunder. Two hours later the thunder was here too. We have had heavy rain and wind all morning. A soggy, wet Paradise. And the forecast doesn't look good for the next week. Do we move on or stick it out, that is today's dilemma.
We need to get out so drive into the small community of Grand Isle which is mostly empty.
The fleet and the pelicans
We find a dock that sells prawns right off the boat. Six pounds for $28. Dinner for a few nights to come.
It is a summer resort area and as the woman at tourist info told us, this is "our" time. The quiet, non tourist time, but still a mostly fine climate through the winter. Today is an exception that we hope will pass on by.There is one super market that really is 'super'. It has a well stocked grocery store, liquor outlet and hardware.
Back to the barn for a quiet afternoon waiting out the wet weather. By dusk it is calm and warm again but still overcast. Prawns for dinner...maybe a Monday night football game?...it is rather decadent to have unlimited power so we have the TV on, a rare occasion for us.
These are the brutes that have taken chunks out of me....maybe they are even worse in the summer but I don't care I still don't like the results.
