Winds are averaging 24 knots at Lac Bay with MUCH higher gusts. My 4.2 meter sail was perfect for windsurfing today.

I wonder what happened to our tropical wave?? It should be raining today or tonight, but there's no water on the Satellite picture. But that new sandblast is on it's way. I'm beginning to wonder if we're going to have dust storms instead of hurricanes? You can see it rolling across the Atlantic, grey color, in this animation: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/catl/loop-avn.html And here's the next installment of the SAL, Saharan Air Layer. Ugh. lol. .... [SAL2.jpg] .OK!! enjoy the day! Other than trying to figure how to offset the approaching dust, it's a beautiful day today! Enjoy everything you can, and have fun.

We've had some really good rain in the last few days helping to push out the Sahara dust. It seems hotter than usual this early in the summer, have the fans cranked on "3" so not sure what we'll do when it comes to August and September. The pool is at 92 degrees so looking forward to it becoming a hot tub soon. We are moving the tomatoes and peppers to cooler spots on the east side now, the deck is baking them! This picture shows pomegranate, and herbs in the background are tarragon and thyme. We have had nice cucumbers and onions are coming along ,everyone in the Caribbean should be able to grow some food and have enough to give away. Here is our first pineapple!!!! We harvested it last night, it has 2 more babies coming on....took forever but absolutely the best we've ever tasted! Looks like we'll have a few days of blue sky before the dust comes back and some moisture should be coming up from the South. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing. Being prepared is the best stress reliever for later on in the season.

No much change since Monday, we are in a trough of hot humid air and we are watching the next wave east of the Lesser Antilles moving westward. The wave seems to have all that is needed to develop into a tropical event sometime in the next couple of days as it moves closer to the ABC islands. We will keep watching from our post on the beach here at Bliss.

The island is looking extremely green and lush and welcoming for the onrush of tourists for the busy month of July here.

For me it was not so much the thunder and lightening as the six very frightened dogs, not small dogs you understand but big strapping Pot Hounds!! I spent the rest of the dark hours sitting in my living watching and listening to the show outside surrounded by dogs and woe betide me if I ventured to the bathroom and a cup of coffee meant a trip to the kitchen (trip almost being the operative word). I now realise the _expression_ 'dogging my every move' could have been thought of by me..... during a storm...... ...... Then at 5.30 am in walks the cat!!! Soaking wet and rubbing himself against the dogs to get dry; this is the cat that spent 3 days away from home after Ivan, having spent the entire storm in the bush, this is the cat that is small even by Grenadian standards...... and those six large dogs can only look on with envy at such bravery. The storm? Oh yes I believe there was a bit of a storm over Grenada in the early hours, me? I shall fall asleep at work and hope no one notices!
