...and were down for weather!

Good old NOGAPs has what we're in at present, turning into this... Our boat is under the dark red blob in the middle of the bullseye... Weather is gone now... Current Forcast of +70knot winds and 15 meter seas... woohoo... I think we can safely say the winter weather pattern is upon us and what was 3-5 day periods between subsequent storms is now 1-2 days. In fact according to the current forcast we have approximately 10 hours under 5 meter seas.

Thanks to the weather, I did have plenty of time to talk to Melanie today about the intricacies of cicada molting in Starkville.  Apparently it takes roughly 30 minutes from the time the bug glues its shell to the wall until it pops out, and then an additional 30 minutes for it to dry out enough to fly away.  If you can imagine Walker had to stay and watch the whole process because as we say... "science... its what he does".  Glad Walker got to see them come out though... its something neat to see.
