Norman’s is still under construction, we took a dinghy ride into the basin, it’s HUGE! It appears that there are piers planned all around the perimeter, there are three or four piers completed with pedestals, a few center console boats tied up, all fixed piers.

Just Walking

Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora are hunkered down until the storm passes.
