After a week of being rudder-less, I had a good talk with the doctor and am going to try a week of the Nimotop and see what happens. He treats a LOT of divers and has had good success with this medicine so I’m going to go with it. Making that decision and talking to him more really has put my monkey mind at ease and I feel much more confident.
Gustavo is getting a lot bigger than I thought he would – he is supposed to be a small storm but it looks like tomorrow will be a rainy and cloudy day, so, we’re off to read “The Mongols” and finish “Commodore Perry in the Land of the Shogun” as we start on stories of Japan while lying on the beach. Afterwards, I’m sure the boys will be VERY interested in kayaking. The wind has really picked up and I have no idea if it is related to Gustavo or not. (the Gustavo link will only work while he is still an interest in the Atlantic)
Our thoughts are with Jody and her family, the tiny islands of the Caymans, the people of Haiti and Jamica and those in the eventual path of Gustavo. He’ll be a Cat 3 when he passes us by so we’re battening down the hatches for tomorrow. I don’t think we’ll get as prepared as we were for Dolly though, as I don’t expect even TS winds here, but we’ll keep an eye on his track and decide better tomorrow. He sure has taken the tour of Jamiaca and Hispanola the past few days though. Meandering north and south and west.
Ya boy, he is a mighty beast isn’t he. When he gets in the warm Gulf, he will grow.
Dreading prep work here. (sigh)
