Live from the rock May 23

Post by TrvlJohn »

Well it had to happen eventually. I think today is going to be one of those stormy days.
Just had one develop over us and move to the west and is now covering most of the island.

Might not be a beach day but a hike to Rams Head might be in order. I'll give it an hour and see if it looks any better.

Hiked to Ram Head once when the storm abated to a Cat 3. A different, but fun experience. Be careful on the steep parts of the trail - mud and gravel can shift underfoot.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

Yeah, it can get slippery. I have hiked it in the rain before. When the wind was whipping, the rain felt like rocks hitting me.

The sun is out now but we have had 2 more showers since my first post.

My better half has still not made the official decision yet... :) But I don't think we are going to a beach this morning

What time did you get rain ? We were walking the dogs at Leinster from 8:30am - 9:30am and didn't receive any maybe it was during that time but my deck was dry when we got home

Rained hard about 830 in coral bay and moved across the island and then another quick shower a little after 9. It cleared up so we went to vies at lunch for the rest of the day. I guess Miss Vie rethought the gate locking strategy because there were lots of people at vies and the shack was closed.

Not really sure. The think I used a different ticker site than I usually do.
I think if you click the ticker it will take you to the site.
