As tropical storm Gustav approaches Cayman, I wanted to post and let everyone know that Andrea, Duffy and I are all safe, and we are in fact off-island, back in the US. The timing of our little vacation is actually a mixed blessing. We do not have to deal with the storm, but at the same time we are not there to make sure all of our property is well protected.
I am actually very concerned that one of our cars is going to get severely damaged in the storm. It is parked in a place that is subject to heavy flooding, and unfortunately I did not leave a key behind, so I can’t have anyone move it. Hopefully it will be fine, and if it is damaged that will be a shame, but ultimately nothing is more important than our personal safety. The car can always be replaced.
We will be tracking the storm, and we hope that all of our friends in the Cayman Islands stay safe and enjoy any storm parties they may be having.
