I got a call from my best friend Meg in St. Thomas yesterday, she was busy running around tying up boats and stocking up on fresh water and bread. She said they predicted Omar to turn into a Hurricane and head northeast. I just checked the NOAA site and sure enough, Omar is now a cat 1 hurricane and is headed northeast, looks to hit St. Thomas dead center. Hopefully it wont gain too much strength before it gets there but you never know. It's traveling over warm water in the caribbean so the possibility for it to become a large storm is there. Meg works on big steel pirate ships that take people snorkeling and sailing, well one boat, Doubloon, is in the yard so as a precaution they welded her to the side of a metal building! Talk about sturdy. They took the other boat Bones into the mangroves and tied her down and set out a ton of anchors. Another worry is that miss Meg and her boyfriend Kilian live on a sailboat at the dock in Compass Point marina. Kilian says if it's a cat 1 or 2 they will stay on the boat but anything higher and they will go stay with someone on land. I am worried about them! Keep an eye on the weather.

Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAt least Omar is a pretty pink colour.
By the anchors aweigh, did you hear back from that job interview you had?
Oh not really, they don't need anyone till like early December and I can't wait that long, so I'm on the hunt again! It may be time for a change of career or something. I'm not having much luck in the boating industry.
ReplyDeleteIt's just the wrong season, that's all. Plus the recession is going to make such jobs dwindle somewhat. But hang in there and manifest your dream job by never giving up thinking about it.
ReplyDeletenah... this is the right season for getting a yacht job. it's in between the Med season and the Caribbean season so I am getting some nibbles but nothing yet, I will keep looking though!
ReplyDeleteSee Jolea you aren't a hurricane magnet... they had one without you. It's the perfect season to go through your closet and get rid of all those old prom dresses.
