September 2012, Panama City, Florida

Hurricane Isaac threatened the northern Gulf Cost, at one stage they predicted landfall on us.  So, taking precautions, we took all the canvas off Star.  Unfortunate for New Orleans, but fortunate for us, they got hit & we only got rain & wind for a couple of days. Got all the canvas back up over several days - Mr Man still under par, & this turned into quite the arduous task. However, job done.

J continues to work on Star.  W continues to apply for jobs online & research Belize. Would we like living there?  Renting there?  Buying there?  Should we move onto Star for the winter?

Drove to Niceville to buy our new wheels - Vlad the Volvo.

J found a property with deep water on Poston road, so we're off on the property lark again.  While this is a beautiful property, it was owned by the bank.  Mary Blackburn is trying to get an acceptable proposal together.  It needs loads doing, especially a new roof & new septic - all very expensive.

Drive to Apalachicola for an afternoon, had lunch at Up The Creek, went to the maritime museum.

Lots of walking.  Watched the dolphins at the end of the fishing pier waiting for whatever would come their way.  Opportunists!

J dealing with sore throat & ears on & off all month.  Even some night sweats.

Had to swap out computer at Best Buys - the new one just crapped out, so we got yet another new one.
