So after 11 days on Cat Island we are experiencing our first big storm from Africa, huge waves with white caps and lots of wind, they tell us that this is the 1st of formations to head our way.
We were out on the property this morning and discovered some mistakes in the land clearing, hard to put back trees that have been bulldozed over. So, we left in frustration and headed to grab a bite to eat, forgetting that it is Columbus Day. Most stores and places to grab a bite are closed due to the holiday. We found that the Pilot Harbor was open, so we stopped in to eat and have a beer. The lady who works the place everyday, Charlie, is very fond of
MATLOCK.....I kid you not, most houses are falling apart and look unlivable but they have satellite cable!!! After
Matlock, which we have endured about 5 episodes over the course of 11 days, comes People's Court,
ARUGH!!! Where is the football or even crappy talk shows.
We attempted to do some snorkeling toady, but the water was too rough. Hence the storm blowing in....I keep reaching for my camera but alas the battery has already gone out on us, so we are waiting for the next business partner to fly out Oct 20
th with a replacement. There is
soooo much to photograph here, a short list:
random single shoes, they are everywhere, you wouldn't believe
old
decrepit buildings, they don't tear anything down, just let it fall apart
piles of conch shells, everywhere
the different bays of water
the locals we have met, several that are employees at Greenwood
the Fall Festival/Columbus day celebration at the Fry Shacks, live music, crafts, food
oh and our Mac went down on us, no idea what is wrong with it but it won't turn on. so much for technology....
We have our first set of guests at Greenwood, a lady from England and a family of 5 from Portugal, 3 small kids. So we have been listening to screaming kids and a crying baby every night at dinner, which
btw is out on the patio every night.
more to come later, this is the first post and I need to figure out how to get pics on here.
Love to you all, Kristy and Chris
