Feeling a wee bit clammy this evening. No rain today. Light breeze every now and again. One of those typical Caribbean evenings. Warm and calm. Frogs singing. Nice evening to sit out on the balcony with that cold, tall glass and realize how lucky we are. Did plan to go to town this morning, but when the third cruise ship pulled in and knew there was another on its way, thought it a good idea to wait till tomorrow. Plus we also had the Commonwealth Games Relay going through town today. ( Not to sure but think you have them tomorrow Montserrat ) This tiny little island was just bursting at the seams with people today. Good day to stay at home, relax and take it easy. Let the madness pass on bye. Well I'm off to refill that glass. You all take care. Have a great day tomorrow. __________________________________________________________________]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:42:57 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/dominica.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/dominica.shtml?id=1268786577_72016 stormCARIB Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:37:04 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/haiti.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/haiti.shtml?id=1268779024_65564 stormCARIB * Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:56:33 -0400 I woke to a tap tap on my east window...droplets of rain that lasted a second or two..such frustration..we desperately need rain. I have buckets out for the donkeys...water out for the birds... The air was humid as I watered the plants at 7 AM. A quick look at www.windguru.cz revealed some major wind and waves head our way starting tomorrow. Time to dust off my 4.2 meter sail.

You can almost hear the earth sighing in relief, hope the water reservoirs fill back so we can get off this water rationing. __________________________________________________________________]]> Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:01:49 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/stvincent.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/stvincent.shtml?id=1268676109_75746 stormCARIB Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:00:34 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/bvi.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/bvi.shtml?id=1268668834_69411 stormCARIB Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:18:01 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/stlucia.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/stlucia.shtml?id=1268659081_60565 stormCARIB * Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:26:41 -0000 Today is one of those abslutely perfect days in Anguilla, there is a lovely breeze coming roughly due east, the sun is hot golden and bright, there are small puffy white clouds drifting across a blue sky above a blue blue ocean. The yellow birds have stuffed their tiny faces full of brown sugar early this morning and I have had a wonderful dive on 'Noname Reef', I was on the reef for 61 minutes at about 50-60ft and we found a little nurse shark trying to take a nap under some coral, masses of lobsters, trumpet fish, angel fish,plus all the usual reef dwellers. The seafans and seafeathers were all swaying gracefully in a gently current, and at one point a spotted eagle ray came flying right towards me out of the blue at exactly the same depth I was, I waited with my camara expecting it to turn but it didn't until it was about 5ft away and then flew off into the blue again. I say flew because eagle rays like mantas fly like birds underwater whereas the common stingrays just seem to glide. Last night I was invited to dine at the best place on the Island for pizza and a private dinner party, luckily it is just down the road from me with a proper outdoor woodburning pizza oven, it's called 'Pizza on the Rocks' and the food is delicious. I am now off to Gwens Reggae Bar at Shoal Bay to have some ribs and listen to her husband Tap's incredibly good Scratch Band. I attach the greedy yellow birds and picture of model boat racing here at Rendevous Bay with St. Martin in the background. Life is good.

The ocean has been unbelievably warm for winter. What the blog doesn't comment on is the fact that for nearly 2 months we have had an amazingly strong and relentless south to north oceanic current (2 to 4 knots) passing the islands which has turned the pelagic dolphin (mahi mahi) fishery on its head. The usual arrival of sargassum and the flotsam, which the dolphin follw,that comes from the north between December and May, hasn't occurred. This current has undoubtedly added to the warm local sea temperatures. Maybe all of it has also resulted in the awful drought we are presently going through. http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1444 __________________________________________________________________]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:49:14 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/antigua.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/antigua.shtml?id=1268588954_99342 stormCARIB
