Charley is now passing by, winds are howling, but it doesn’t look like we’re getting more than 50 knots of wind, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to get much more than that. It’s not raining that much, and from what we can see on the satellite, we’ll have some nice clear weather after this passes. Hopefully we’ll have a nice weather window to get out to Isla Mujeres as soon as tomorrow. That’s what we’re hoping for….
So last night, we went into town in search of a hurricane party. We managed to find a restaurant open, where we had a great late hurricane eve dinner, and then we went down to the wharf and then Duval St looking for a joint that would take us in. There was NOTHING OPEN. So much for the legendary hurricane parties. Guess that’s all they are, legends.
During out venture into town, it started raining pretty hard, and since we left our rain gear on board, we had to improvise a bit. Hence the trash bags (click “more” to see the photos) …
These are some shots of the storm conditions this morning, about 8AM…
We may have a couple more before the day’s up.

Mike, Tony, & Mahi,
Great rain gear : )
I’m thrilled that all of you are safe and that there wasn’t any damage to The Andiamo. Now the forecast says that it’s headed for us in the Carolinas. Perhaps Charley will continue east instead!
Happy Birthday, Mahi
