Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s take warning. This picture of the sunrise behind the south causeway bridge in New Smyrna Beach foretold the storms that traveled across Florida today. On our drive down to Palm City we managed to stay ahead of the heavy rains and even got to drive the first 30 or so miles with the top down.
We did get wet pretty good this afternoon after we got to Donna’s sister’s place. To kill a couple hours Sandy took us for a drive around to see some local sights. When we walked out to the beach near the Hutchinson Island Marriott Resort? (where this picture was taken) and stood for a few seconds admiring the surf, the rain started to come down. We were less than 50 yards from the car and by the time we got back in it we were pretty wet. My back seat companion, Desdemona, decided to dry herself off by rubbing her face along the side and back of my shirt while I sat there. Don’t worry, my wife was in the front seat and thought it was fine, Desi is Sandy’s dog.
