Saturday March 23, 2024 Cat Island Day 3

Deb here. Today was all about the impending storm. We had a lovely lazy day, doing lots of reading. We had a first round of rain in the late morning, then another round in mid-afternoon. In between we managed to get a beach walk in, and even had a nice swim later in the day. We’d made plans to eat in the dining room at 6:30. Shortly after we sat down for dinner the storm started in earnest, with torrential rain, lightning, and big thunder. A few minutes later the power went out! Through it all we enjoyed a delicious dinner of cracked conch (me), Cornish hen (John), accompanied by mashed potatoes, salad, and a vegetable dish. For dessert we had tasty red velvet cake. All in all a great day!
