Well we got up and listened to the 7am news, prepared to leave the island a day ahead.....but looks like hurricane is not developing fast and will move north of the islands! Yeah! However it will bring high heat and humidity...time to get out of here! After driving for 3 days in very challenging conditions we are leaving the car in the garage today! I did our weeks wash, went down to look at beach and cabana, did my laps in pool, had a bit of lunch and generally ...

Eventually we wander...

Fred was dead tired...I got up at 6:45 and went for long walk down beautiful beach....so pretty and nice!
