Not complaining, but this week marks the 46th anniversary of our first trip to the island. We may have missed a year or two along the way, though I don’t think so, and we’ve more than made up for them if we did with all the multitrip years we’ve enjoyed, but it’s got to be said. Never, over all these years, have we experienced weather like we’ve seen this trip.
It hasn’t been a washout but I think yesterday was the only day since we’ve been here that we didn’t experience at least one small rain shower and today has been absolutely crazy. And the rest of the time, when it wasn’t raining, it’s been perfect!
We left this morning for breakfast next door at El Zafiro and then, after a quick replenishment stop at Zee Best for pastries we went over to Mullet to check out the conditions there. Looked like a Mullet kinda day so we ran home and changed into our suits and by the time we were ready to leave it had clouded over and you just knew it was going to pour.
We’re right next to the pool so we did that instead while we waited for the downpour. You never saw a pool deck clear so fast and this has now been going on all day. I just left the pool for the third and last time today.
That’s it! I’m done! But the sun is now out and shining and it’s gorgeous again.
Respectfully,
pat

Crazy stuff! I know it must be frustrating. Have fun, running between the rain drops!

Pat, so sorry to hear about the weather but as I type this I am looking out the window at 8' of snow and more coming. I know you will make the most of it anyway. It is weird though. We were there the last two weeks of September, peak hurricane season and although we had some rain it was always short lived and generally gorgeous the rest of the time, meanwhile the US was suffering through hurricane Florence and our hometown was pummeled by high winds and lots of tree damage. Go figure!

Believe me, please, the weather has dampened our activities for limited moments but the trip has been wonderful and the rain definitely has not dampened our spirits or our outlook towards the island. It needs us.

Jeepers,
If you’re talking about pat, she sure wishes she was where you are but no such luck, Shes stuck back in breezy cold Connecticut waiting out the weather forecast and the impending snow/ice storm they're calling for for this coming weekend. So far this winter, the only snow in our area was back in November when we were where you are now..
Respectfully,
pat
