..a system, currenty, heading just south of us but already showing some potential.Our friends below us should watch this too..

...heading mainly West south of us..

Hoping this does not stall out and makes its way West since we will down on 4th of July for 10 days. Hopefully perfect weather as it clears out.

Does this feel early to anyone else?

Sure feels early to me....

I am scared for September.

We are down in Cayman diving for our anniversary (got married here on a dive boat). Have been having rain bands from 94L and warily watching 95L….at least if she stays S our fleets in BVI will be safer….

Happy Anniversary my friend...

SST anomaly is through the roof

Thanks for the anniversary wishes Bailau - I believe you are island bound - have an excellent trip!

Last day at Pink House looking over your West end anchorage...than on boat until 7/7. Tuesday looks the worst so far when ironically we are on a dock at Leverick for our Baths/Coco Maya run.

We'll be down sailing July 6-14. Watching closely and hoping the storms stay away!

We will be there Cruising July 12th through the 27th.
Hoping the weather cooperates.
We didn't buy travel insurance and starting to wonder if we should have.

Hopefully you should be ok, but with the way the hurricane season is scheduled to go this year, perhaps it would have been a good idea.

For months the forecast has been for a busy hurricane season. Our property was rebuilt and strengthened after Irma, but we took additional steps this year, including adding hurricane panels to the PGT Miami-Dade sliders. We had custom stainless hinges made for our garage doors, and every door has horizontal bars inside and outside the hurricane shutters. Every downspout has multiple clips epoxied into the stone.

Unfortunately there could be debris from the houses on either side of us, which remain unrepaired since Irma. That is frustrating.

Here's hoping we get through hurricane season unscathed!

I hope so...great house and my wife's favorite

No shear… recon on the way to get readings. Cat 4 heading to the islands!

For Beryl, as of 8AM today (June 30), Barbados, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, The Cayman Islands, and Cancun are in the projected path. The rest of the Caribbean should be OK

Looks like just a bit of a breeze in the BVI. Might need 1 reef. Winds around 20 knots.

Take a look at Vesselfinder between Grenada and Trinidad and Tobago. Massive flotilla of boats heading south. Grenada has been regarded as outside the hurricane belt for years but is right in the firing line of Beryl!

Zanshin's boat was last tagged in St. Lucia. He's been offline for several weeks so I hope he's ok and his boat is in a protected location.

How does Vesselfinder work? I don't really know anything about AIS but I thought it was basically ship to ship - I broadcast my position with a signal strong enough for local receivers to see me and I see others around me broadcasting their position. How is all of this (local) information being collected and collated for display on the site?
