SeaWorld in the Mist

Friday November 17th 2023

Today’s weather was the best of the week, but it didn’t live up to the positive forecast. The heavy rain overnight gave way to a cloudy morning. The forecast called for an ever improving day. The reality was different. The mist moved in shortly after noon and continued off and on for a few hours. Around 4PM the sun broke through. I thought the worst was over. A little after 6PM the mist was back with a vengeance.

I am so aware of the weather and the timing because I chose to go to Sea World this afternoon. The mist began on my way to Sea World. I didn’t bring my raincoat, but I did wear a long sleeve shirt. By going in and out of buildings and other shelter, I didn’t get real wet. I just got damp. Late in the afternoon it got drier. The sun actually came out long enough to get in my eyes while I was watching the parade in Sesame Street Land. I thought I was home free for the night time shows and fireworks. Wrong! I came out of a show shortly after 6PM to find the mist back worse than ever. I walked around a little and enjoyed the Christmas Lights, but decided to stay dry and not remain for the final shows and fireworks. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got canceled. The rain really got bad on my way home.
