Red Skies at morn......


We had a beautiful sunrise this morning, so I thought I'd share. But the wind and surf advisories are keeping us from being about to get out on a boat. We were invited to go out with our friends on Forever Young yesterday, but the wind and surf was too much for what was supposed to be a fun sail, so it was cancelled. We're supposed to rent a boat tomorrow from Nauti Nymph, but again the conditions are not looking like it would be a fun day. So we may just take the car over to St. John and have fun over there. I know, tough decision.

It was a beautiful morning. Sorry I missed ya'll Saturday at the beach. I spent most of the day on St. Thomas at Home Depot, Kmart, Budget Marine, etc. and didn't get back until later in the afternoon. I hope the winds calm a little so you can enjoy some boat time.
