Call them the George winds, as they seem to follow him down here! Boats have been crowded in the east side of Trellis Bay.

Our patio furniture blew around - first time I've seen that!

Plenty of rain, too. Always happy for a full cistern. Also good for the garden. Got the first key limes today. My bananas and papayas are nearly ready. Have lettuce, and tomatoes are coming along. Ratman calls it my truck farm.

Only problem is it's cooler, so bread is taking longer to rise.

Before dark the boats at MC looked fine, didn't seem to be bouncing around. Looked like they were pointed in the direction of the current rather than the wind. One small dinghy was having a lot of trouble fighting the wind and current to get to Scrub; kept getting blown back.
