Not much to say about Hurricane Bertha as far as Puerto Rico goes. By the looks of the ‘predicted path’ it is moving North and is going to sweep by Bermuda, hopefully causing minimal damage if any at all and no injuries. The thing with hurricanes is that you can’t write them off until they have completely dissipated over cold water. For that reason, I’ll keep an eye on it for the next few days.
As far as waves go in Puerto Rico, the hurricane didn’t push any swell over to Rincon. Rumor has it that it was head high up North yesterday, but the trade winds were blowing hard all day (makes the wave faces choppy and less desirable). When I woke up at 6:00am this morning, the trades were already pushing a gorgeous sea breeze through our master bedroom. It’s probably really windy up there again today.
Oh, thanks heavens. I was starting to wonder whether arriving in PR tomorrow, together with Bertha, was such a good idea ;-). And then I thought about my poor kitties in a casita only 4 miles from the place where the eye of hurricane Hugo(?) landed 10 years ago. Where would I have to search for them if Bertha hit??? Thanks heaven’s she did not!
Shoot out for The Track!

I am glad to hear all is well for you guys and the storm showed mercy on PR.
Bertha sent some waves our way. OC was waist to OH Sun-Tues. Smashed open a gaping wound near my eye on Tues requiring 6 stiches inside and 7 outside. Good thing chicks dig scars. Heard San Jaun was super fun last week.
