Hard core last week, but wind and swell started calming down on Monday and were great on Tuesday this week.

We saw no boats in CGB last week with breaking waves due to big NE swell and winds. Norman was good as was Little Harbor on Peter Island, Cooper was very rolly, but there were boats there. We see wind and swell direction and intensity being key factors. Last week wind and swell were both from the NE and the wind-driven swell had a different period than the north swell. The north sides were getting beat up. Quite bumpy, rainy too.

If it had not been an upwind slog, I would have holed up in North Sound. Instead, after Norman, we hit Diamond Cay and Great Harbor for two nights and then moved to the USVI to Christmas Cove, Brewers Bay on St. Thomas, Honeymoon Beach on Water Island and Lameshur Bay on St. John.
