The heat and a glimpse

For at least the last 30 days, record-breaking temperatures have made life on the island challenging. We encountered extreme heat with no wind but beautiful clear blue skies.

When you step outside, it feels like you are sitting in a sauna. If you’re at the beach, you will feel like you’re taking a warm bath.

Luckily, the start of the week brought storms that provided some relief.  The winds returned, and the temperatures dropped the normal ranges for now.

The storms bring clouds as an added bonus in the evening sky. As the sun drops below the horizon, a multitude of hues will paint the sky and create the afterglow, oftentimes the best part of the sunset.

While watching the sunset,  I zoomed in on the camera and got a glimpse of a sailboat on the gulf. Always a pleasant surprise.

If I couldn’t be on the beach to watch the evening ritual, I would want to be on the sailboat,
