“Bóg dokonuje”

…is what my college roommate Liz used to sigh and say whenever something unfortunate happened to someone just when all was going so well. “Bóg dokonuje” (God does).
      A few days ago after hearing about the cold conditions back in the Midwest, I was boasting to our friends and family there that the weather here is pretty sunny and fine all the time.  Well, today is our second day of dreary and 60% chance of showers.  Yesterday I spent most of the day reading a cruising guide for the Leewards and high lighting good anchorages for our down island trip.  Today I finished that by mid-morning and started making a batch of flour tortillas from scratch!  We had a nice warm luncheon of cheesy bean burritos- a most pleasant change from a sandwich. 
      The weathermen try to get creative with their radio broadcasts by interchanging “partly sunny, partly cloudy, or scattered clouds”, but we’re getting wise to their lingo. We’re about to go ashore to take a walk around the grounds of the Cannel Bay Resort.  I suggested that the Captain wear clothes that will dry easily.
Drizzly all day, but still a spectacular sunset.
