Severe storm hit the island after midnight. Winds gusted up to 50 mph with lightening and 3 inches of rain. The sound was louder than the surf. Woke up and let el gato inside. She raced for cover. As I was leaving the beach, I noticed this catamaran that was washed or blown against the pilings from last night's storm. It was still here in the afternoon. Maybe the owner hasn't missed it. Today was the last day of school and the first day of the rest of my life. What an enormous relief to close this chapter. Will be sad to close the door to the life on the beach, however. The never ending flight of the sea birds and the soothing sound of the waves and the brilliance of the sun sparkling off the water will be remembered always.
