Over

Well, we survived the Hurricane with no real damage. We do consider ourselves fortunate considering 25000 people lost electricity for up to 5 days. Ours had gone down 4 times in the previous 5 days so we thought it inevitable, but the big man upstairs had other ideas. Those without electricity did find it very frustrating.

School was back in session on Tuesday even though all the Government schools and departments were closed. Nicki took off a half-day and I returned home early to look after the little madam.

The photo above is taken from the Gibbs lighthouse just above our house about 12 hours before the storm reached the island. Tayla did find our to her horror that she could not stand in the strong winds!!

After the storm the wind changed direction and took a good few hours to blow out, and then it was time to clean up and take down all the protection on the house.

As I type I see that hurricane Helene is now heading our way......hopefull to miss this tiny dot.

We got some good news today that the container holding our household goods has been located and searched by US customs and should be on its way here this weekend - we will not be holding our breath but do look forward to an emense present opening session. The other bit of major news is that we both passed our practical bike tests. I gave myself little chance and even put my feet down twice! Till next time.
