Sunday 7th December
Lots of reports on
the ABC news this morning about the Super Typhoon…so much devastation, 700,000 people
evacuated, a few deaths…
From Toby on
Facebook in the Philippines, looking out for 2XS…
Preparing the 2XS for Super Typhoon Hagupit (Ruby). It should hit us late Monday, Early Tuesday.
We've got her tucked into a lagoon tied off to the mangroves (4) sides &
anchored in the aft.
Hoping this will be enough to keep her safe. We're hoping Ruby will turn NE and miss us
completely.
The dive shop called us last night and told us that they were
evacuating people to higher ground in the morning and wanted us to get off the
Yacht and stay at the Resort for the night so we could go with them to the
evacuation center in the morning.
Everything was fine this morning and we
went into town to get some supplies. (Food)
Seems like they were "jumping
the gun".
However, one can never can tell what "Mother Nature"
will do.
Weathering the storm quietly and watching some movies.
Peace-Out Peeps

There are amazing
photos on the internet of the evacuation from Vestas Wind. What a huge gaping hole – it does NOT look as
if they will be back in the Volvo Ocean Race…so disappointing!
Today is my
mother’s birthday. We are all, as
always, enormously proud of her and of her indomitable spirit and love of life.
Back then…
And now! Still fabulous!
