Tuesday, November 10, 2009



We were up at 6 am after a pretty good night’s sleep. All night we were aware of the wind and the rain, but it was never so bad that we were concerned for our safety or felt that the boat was being stressed. Checking the weather news on the web we learned that TS Ida made landfall at 6:40 am (EST) at Dauphin Island where we had been on November 1st and 2nd. It was heading for a second landfall at Mobile Bay.



At 8 am we experienced the heaviest rain yet and it rained buckets! We noticed a leak starting in the aft cabin we use as our pantry, but we were actually very grateful that things weren’t worse! At 8:30 am the rain quit briefly and then continued off and on for a couple more hours. The sun even tried to peak through the clouds a few times. From about 11 am until late in the afternoon, there was no measurable rainfall. It seemed the worst was over.



Tonight’s movie was “The Proposal” with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It was “cute” and made us laugh which felt pretty good after a couple of stressful days.

We laughed our butts off at this movie, too! Let me know if you see other good ones. We are looking forward to seeing "The Hangover" soon! I heard it is hilarious!!
