Overnight we had some nice gentle rain on and off. The sky this morning is a washed out blue with clouds on the horizon, but nothing more sinister than puffy white at the moment, while the sun shines on. There is a great breeze out of the east/southeast that I hope lasts all day, as it makes cart sitting much more enjoyable, managing to slide down the street and come around my corner, unblocked by trees and the cart itself (I've considered cutting out wind holes in the cart, but I think it might be more than a fix).
The bit of disturbance 800 miles or so to the east looks like it is going to go the way of wind shear, but I'm still keeping an eye on it until it is gone.
My first ever black urchin spine to skin encounter has left no mark. The black inky spotting went away in 24 hours, as all the sites on black urchins I googled predicted, and there never was any stinging (so the U method either works, or it wasn't going to sting in the first place). Advice - do not take a very strong, large frisky dog on a leash into the sea near a knee high coral shelf covered with sea urchins. The dog will win, it annoys the urchins and your shins might sport tribal look-alike skin art for awhile (which, I have to admit, was pretty interesting to observe, though I won't miss it - sorry, no pics!).
After two days of pretty glorious blue skies, this morning is looking fairly dull. But it's still cool and that is not dull at all!
