Saturday night we went to see the concert at Seastar. My sisters and Mom were completely entranced by the Seastar drummers. They enjoyed Steve West’s performance too and even got up to dance for a few numbers.
When we returned from the Seastar concert we were surprised by the dramatic change in the weather. Suddenly waves were crashing over the pool in Catcha and hitting the door of the Sagi cottage. We realized it was the effects of Tropical storm Isaac passing by. I’d never seen waves so high before in my life! It was crazy and a little frightening at night. The waves were so loud that my parents chose to sleep with us at Star Cottage instead of sleep at the Sagi Cottage.
The next day was the same, high winds and massive waves...I was mesmerized by the sight of it, it's really something incredible to witness!
We couldn’t swim in the pool because of the waves crashing onto the deck and obviously the ocean was off limits, but that didn’t put a damper on our fun. We just put on our bathing suit, grabbed our towels and head over to Seastar Inn to swim in the pool there.
Oddly enough, the weather was entirely calm inland. It was really only the cliffs area that was hit by the storm. Apparently seven mile stretch of beach was fine too. ( Although my relatives in St. Catherine and Kingston reported some serious heavy rain and some flooded areas.)
We had the seafood pizza with Shrimp + lobster at Seastar…. I’d heard about the pizza before but it was my first time actually trying it. It was truly delicious.
