We headed out to the water at 4:30 PM, allowing just enough tidewater to flow in to get the boat in. But Brickyard Point's openness revealed clouds that were hidden in the tree cover at the house. I'd heard there was a thunderstorm warning for Charleston County, but thought it would pass much North of us. But the wind was taking the clouds east, and I could see lightning to the north and south. There was no escape.
So we retreated, and I barely covered the boat before the weather released. I had just shut the truck off in the driveway, when I thought of getting a DQ Ice Cream Cake for Alison's birthday party. So I started it back up, and went out in the rain.
We celebrated Ali's birthday on Saturday night. Here she is, happy to see that I didn't just get her a 'Corazon' (I pronounce it "CORE-A-ZHOAN!!") gift set. She was happy to get a new Ipod. She'd bought one for me while I was on deployment, when I knew it was one of those sacrifices that she'd have liked to keep it for herself.
Happy Birthday Baby!
And Sunday Dad came down. We had a really good fishing outting. He caught two bonnet-head shark. AJ caught a flounder (puffer fish) and a shark. I caught two sharks and two sting ray.
