Monsoon in Indiantown


11-21-13 Monsoon Rains on Ihana. The monsoon rains have arrived! Very heavy rains for last 24 hours. Still pouring. Several inches so far; our floating rain gauge (the dink) is filling up.
The river is rising; had to loosen the dock lines. And might have to do it again soon. Lake Okeechobee is filling up and draining out into the cross-Florida waterway where we are docked.
Part of the parking lot is draining down the ramp into the marina. Wow.
We're dry inside the boat and getting some indoor projects and organizing done. Hell of a way to run a drought ...
The good news is that we are getting the boat washed.
Broke out a bottle of Pussers Rum, while waiting for the beer to get cold and Ilona to cook supper.
