Windy and Wild

DSCF1836Look back at the picture in the last blog of John in the water -- see how clear and calm it is? Now check out this picture. See all that seaweed on the seawall? That was blown up by wind and waves overnight Tuesday and all day on Wednesday and into Wednesday night. This morning the wind has finally died down some. It was a wild night. We could hear the water from the gulf hitting the RV and the wind rocking us about. Wed. morning we surveyed the result which was tons of salt water all over the RV and Jeep!

We found some stuff to use that will take the salt off the vehicles but didn't use it until the wind died down today. We also decided that we were way too close to the water so we moved inland a couple of rows. We also decided that this was as good a place to stay as any along the Keys so we extended our stay here another 5 days.

After cleaning the vehicles, we tried out the municipal 9-hole, par 3 golf course. The longest hole was 130 yards so the only clubs we took were putters, wedges, a 9 and an 8 iron. The funny part is that they provided us with a golf "bag" to carry the irons. It was actually a PVC pipe, closed at one end with an attached handle for carrying. LOL

Don't know what we will do with the weather getting cold again and the wind still blowing.
