An island, super strong winds, and pouring down rain don't bode well with us. Last night was a very difficult time for us. There were flood warnings, the RV was rocking like we've never felt, the rain was coming down in buckets (and we know rain being from the PNW), and the winds were up to 60 miles an hour.
It was impossible to sleep as not only were we moving around so much but the noise of the wind was so loud. We couldn't wait for morning so we could get out of here. But about 7:00am everything calmed down and by 9:30 the sky was clear and it was sunny and in the 70's. Now it's time to leave and we don't want to go. But there are more places to see so onward we go.
I'm pretty sure we won't be going to any more islands as this experience brought back too many memories of our trip to Tahiti were a hurricane struck, our hotel fell to the ground, we had to be evacuated two different times from two different places, as we were evacuating we came extremely close to being swept into the sea, the car just behind ours did get swept into the sea (we watched it go) and the people were killed.
So as you can see, islands and storms are a little scary for us.

PS By the time I finished writing this the fog was so thick you couldn't see across the little road in the RV Park and the wind is picking up. Guess it is a good thing we're leaving!
