Fortunately, has come and gone way down south of us. However, not far enough to not cause a little storm surge in the marina and enough to panic the marina staff into shutting down the power yesterday afternoon around 5pm or so. I fortunately had checked my batteries the day before because I had my AC on fan all day and there it was sucking power off the inverter for an hour. For whatever reason, the harbor master relented at around 10:30pm last night and turned the island power back on. However, there is no telling if he may at a whim, shut it off so I’ve pulled it out and let the fresh breeze from off the gulf blow in all night. I left everything shut off today. The surge is still around and the flood warnings won’t expire until tomorrow morning.
