Noel

Sitting in the cockpit at 0500 tracking Noel on the computer. She turned north a little before we expcected and is about to cut through Haiti to our west. Here's another good graphic of the wind pattern.

Steady rain here since about midnight with winds gusting around 20-25 probably. Looks like we'll be in this for awhile as the storm is not moving very fast. This is just the latest. It has been raining here just about constant since Thursday. More days of rain to come. Well, as we say . . . Just another day in paradise!

But the coffee is hot and the anchors are holding and I'm not grading lab reports!

That's all from Loopy Luperon. We're fine and just hunkering down.

Chicago Tribune reported mud slides with 20 people dead and 20 plus more missing. Expect 20 inches of rain. All in the DR. Hang tight and hopefully this shall pass soon.

WE'RE FINE. WE LIVE ON A BOAT SO MUDSLIDE DON'T AFFECT US MUCH. AND WE'RE NOT ROAMING AROUND THE COUNTRYSIDE ANYMORE.

WE MAY EVEN GET TO LEAVE BY THE WEEKEND!

Have not heard a thing about the storm and its aftermath on the news the past few days. Hoping that means it's all over and you are getting ready to set sail.
Do you have any dry clothes left?
