Sunblock Rationing

We were told to pack shorts, tank tops, swim suits, flip-flops, and plenty of bug spray and sunblock for our stay here on the island. So far none of these items have been of any use. Rain gear, umbrellas, and rubber boots would be helpful, but without them we’re doing our best to avoid the wrath of three straight days of torrential rain by running from condo to bar to bar to store to bar, and back again. The normally glass smooth surface of Half Moon Bay looks like a surfer’s paradise, as breaking waves re-landscape the pristine snorkeling grounds below. Tomorrow I might stuff my laptop into a plastic bag and venture out in search of a wi-fi connection. The storm is expected to last three more days we’re told, so I guess I’ll put the cap back on the sunblock for now.
