Wednesday, March 30th in Melbourne Beach

The forecast was for rain with thunder showers.  It was humid and the temperature hit 30C.  Then around the supper hour, heavy rain, thunder and a tornado watch.  We experienced only heavy rain with winds which did some tree pruning, no damage in this area,  The storm which came out of the west cut a path through the Orlando area through to the Cape Canaveral area and north. 

Helene and Arabella were in training and did a shopping run.  Ron, New Jersey John and I played golf at the Baytree National GC.  A great day, warm, sunny, humid, 30 C, then while waiting to T-off at the 18th hole and the skies darkening and winds picking up, an executive decision was made to skip the 18th hole and head to the clubhouse.  We each scored a "Birdie".  The winds continued to pick up and the rain started coming sideways as we arrived.  We dumped the carts and ran into the Pro Shop with our golf bags.  In the security of the Clubhouse and in the bar area, beer was ordered and of course enjoyed.  We waited for the weather system to blow through before returning to Melbourne Beach which is about a 45 minute drive.

The shoppers had supper ready for Ron and I upon our arrival.  We enjoyed watching the "American Idol" show together.  Another day just breezed by.  One day left to gather up, pack and clean the condo.
