Probably last update until after Omar

1:00 in the afternoon, we are ready and tied except for the dinghy, it has been raining hard for the last hour but up until then it was fine. I am hoping to get up my pictures before we lose the internet, so lets see how this works.
I shall save this in parts and update as i go along so I get some of it up anyways... Everything is closed from ports to airport. My stomach is in a bit of a knot...Much prefer when these things come through in the daylight hours. this was peeking out of the hurricane hole about an hour and a half ago...

We put out the rest of our anchors this morning and tied more lines on...

While Bazza got to wade through the mangroves I took pictures of shells! Why not!!





Then it was up the mast for Bazza to remove the rest of our wind vane stuff before it too was flung into the dinghy by this system...

We have not tightened our bow lines yet in case someone else comes into the hole today. I hope not, as they really left it late to prepare...

A couple pics from the top of the mast..Charter Yacht Slipstream

and the charter yacht Ayacanora

This is looking outside the reef from the mast, from this angle far away it almost all looks very calm doesn't it!

Looking up at Bazza

And now here we have everything out of the cockpit, including all tables. It looks pretty barren!



And yep, of course everything is thrown in the aft, so the cabins and hall are full!



Thanks for all the thoughts and good wishes, I will keep updated as I can, although I understand we will lose internet when the wind gets to 35 knots....
Lisa and Rich:, Not sure how you managed to miss this one!! Good going though, I would rather be cooking in chilly old England about now!

We feel confident that we have prepared about as well as could have. I just have to finish off getting the ditch bag ready (not that we want to use it but you never know do you?)
Keep all of us in the Islands in your thoughts.
