Waiting out Arlene

MIAMI---Well the satellites say that she will miss us here in South Beach, and Jim Cantore is stationed further north in Pensacola......good news for Miami, but bad news for the panhandle. Surfers in the area seem to be enjoying the waves Arlene has sent our way, but you can already tell the average South Beach resident is already tired of the rainy season. We had plans to dive Tenneco Towers near Ft. Lauderdale which Marnie has ranted and raved about since I got here, but looks like Arlene is not going to cooperate.

As of last evening our plan was to take advantage of the rough seas and try out surfing (Marnie has some experience from her days in Hawaii)but we decided this morning it was a little much for a beginner like me.

Our dive for Saturday was also cancelled due to the storm and some 8-10ft. seas out there......hmmmm good idea. As much as I like to submerge, I also like to know that I can get back on the boat! All of these bad memories of those Flower Garden trips being cancelled are coming back........errrrrrrrrrrr...............three days out of the water and I am already grumpy.
