It's that time of year. The time when all of the Carribean starts thinking about Hurricanes. Well here's Bertha. She's not a hurricane yet but she is expected to become one by tomorrow. Her temper must be on a short fuse. The locals are claiming that this is the year for the big one - let's only hope they are wrong. We are preparing by cutting down the bushes in front of the windows to make room for the hurricane shutters. Now we need to ensure the generator is filled with gas and get some one in to cut down our abundance of coconuts lest they become dangerous missiles. Lisa is going through all the rooms in the house trying to figure out which one would be the safest :-)
The skies are a lot darker than usual some days - the gorgeous Haitian sloops will have to make sure they are home and safe.

good luck with the storm..hope you have lots of food and water around too! maybe even a bottle of wine?
From far away, it sounds like quite an adventure! I'm sure from your standpoint, it's a little bit hairier:) Good luck with everything. Here's hoping it's nothing more than some gnarly waves for surfing.
Oh No! Stay safe!
Stay safe. Buy Wine. And use 'lest' more often in posts. So good for the soul.
This is the part of paradise that I would not want to live with! I'll take blizzards over hurricanes any day.
I do hope you'll all be safe.
Let us know how it goes with the storm. I'm sure you'll do fine. I agree with Miranda... drink wine! :-)
It has been a while since visiting... sorry about that.. as for the Hurricane season... err... don't mention that 'H' word...
