Wave action!

This evening I went down to the beach to take a walk and see the waves roll in...

... and this is what I saw!
Beautiful tall waves - we very seldom get these here - lots of wind and many surfers enjoying themselves! This direction is due east, and the dark clouds on the horizon is Hurricane Irene, just leaving the Bahamas. It was quite beautiful down at the beach; lots of people taking it all in, very windy but warm.

Just wanted to share :)

Preparing...

Rumor has it we are in for a bad hurricane (Irene) this week, so a small break in blogging will probably happen as I need to concentrate on securing my house...

UPDATE: 

Looks like Hurricane Irene is taking a more easterly course, so we should be good!
Phew!!

I have been slowly starting to prepare the last couple of days, not wanting to panic, nor wanting to get caught in the supermarket stampede, fighting for the last couple of necessities either! So for those of you who have not been through a storm like this before; there is a lot of prep work involved! Don't really want to bore you with the long list....

If you are in the Bahamas, STAY SAFE, as you will be getting the brunt of this storm!
...that is it for now: See you later!

PS. I have come to really like the day before a hurricane, as it's often sunny, quiet, not too hot and windy. LOVE when it's windy in Florida! Sometimes I go to the beach to see the huge waves roll in with the dark clouds in the horizon... Beautiful!
The Clam Before the Storm, for sure.
