Okay, my day started out a little shaky, but now the chores are done, everything is locked down and shuttered and we had breakfast. (That helped a lot.) Captain John Brandi came by and helped Ron shut down the Dockside Building. Thank you, Captain John! Robbie Hoyt is out there taking our boat apart. Thank you, Robbie.
Now, we're all just hanging around taking pictures of each other.
It was extremely quiet around here this morning. Very few people around.

We took the store apart so we could close all the shutters.

We shut down the rest of the building, with Captain John's help. Then, we rested. Some folks were getting a ride to Red Hook on an Ocean Runner boat.

We saw some people in the park. Look, it's NIC in KC! Nicole and Jason!

NOW WHAT DO WE DO? Turns out the Beach Bar is open and Boo is READY. Guess there's nothing left to do but buy Captain John those beers we promised.

We'll keep you posted.
-Ruth and Ron

Thanks Ruth - looks like you are prepared as you can be. The 11 AM NHC discussion just came out - it is not looking any better unfortunately:

Ruth,
Too bad you are figuring out both of those things in the same week. This is one week to remember, that's for sure. Take care.

Ruth - Go enjoy a few beers while you can and please let us know if there is anything we can ship down to you once this mess passes through. I feel helpless here watching this unfold. We're thinking of you -

Ruth, thanks for the updates and pix! As weird as this may sound, I wish we were down there helping you all prepare for Omar! Beats sitting up here at work trying to keep an eye on you all!

Keep safe and dry! You all are definitely in our thoughts and prayers!
