Attached are some pics of the beach and the stranded yacht. Its lovely day today warm and sunny with a small breeze and finally the sea has calmed.

He knew where he was all the time. Just no one else knew. No other details available. __________________________________________________________________]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:13:52 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/tci.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/tci.shtml?id=1283436833_84503 stormCARIB Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:51:25 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/bvi.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/bvi.shtml?id=1283435485_81820 stormCARIB * Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 06:17:17 -0700 Yesterday was really windy very pleasantly cool. Jaco Ladd and I went to Mero beach for a couple of hours and had fun watching the kids playing in the large waves, belly surfing and ducking in and out of the sea. It was such a pleasure to watch the young people having such a fun time all on their own with no adults standing by watching their every move! It makes us acknowlege how lucky we are to live in the Caribbean where children can enjoy their childhood, be adventurous and grow up without fear. The day before yesterday I was on the way home and came upon a tree across the road and there were these strong men chopping the tree up so we could pass. That is another weird thing about living in the forest we often here the crash of trees and branches falling down. This can happen on a really still day and it makes us jump. I keep my fingers crossed each morning that when we are out exercising, a tree, coconut or bread fruit does not decide to fall on us!! The forest definitely has a life of its own! We are watching Gaston, it looks on course to swipe us all again, we hope not! My nephew is coming to stay this weekend. He has had enough of the hurricane season and is looking forward to going back to Austria where he lives. I have posted four photo's one of the kids in the sea at Mero, the guys with the tree and a beautiful susnset.

People started stressing right away as is normal when a storm forms out east of us and starts looking like it wont go North into the Atlantic. We have already seen the model tracks jump around a bit as well as the predicted strengths. Nobody can be sure where this storm will end up or even if it will hit anywhere in the Caribbean, BUT we must prepare for a direct hit just in case that id happens. In fact, I would tell anyone from Grenada north to get your hurricane plans in order for this storm of the next one. We will have to wait and see and i'm sure that you will see constant reports on this site over the next few days. This link gives you an idea of the prediction models. As you can see several have Gaston going South of Antigua and some have it going North. This can only mean that we need to be prepared. I am going to my mom's house today to help get it more prepared than it was for the tropical storms conditions that we experienced in Hurricane Earl. More to come. http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at201009_model.html -- +1 268 725 7263 http://www.adventureantigua.com http://www.sailing-antigua.com http://www.antiguaisland.blogspot.com http://www.twitter.com/antigua __________________________________________________________________]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:59:37 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/antigua.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/antigua.shtml?id=1283432377_75789 stormCARIB * Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 04:48:03 -0700 (PDT) Good morning from Bermuda where its a warm humid morning, with hazy sunshine. Bermuda is again today under a Tropical Storm Watch, I say again because its the third one in three weeks. Tropical storm Fiona has not gone away, as most had thought it would have dissipated by now but actually the NHC are saying this morning that she could actually intensify some what before passing Bermuda now set at Saturday morning less then 50 miles west. The winds are still set at only 45 knots but this could be changed if she does intensify as two of the computer models are indicating that she could become a hurricane. As most of the interest today is on Earl and his affect on the US coast there is not that much extra info on Fiona. Hopefully our encounter with Fiona will remain very minuscule compared to the damage in the north Caribbean islands and potential impact on the east coast that C4 Earl has done and could do. In PEI Canada they have already been warned of an impact from Earl this weekend so friends there informed me yesterday.. So its storm weather watch here on the fickle Fiona and what she may or may not do in the next 48 hours. We are flying through the alphabet with storm names Gaston is already in the Atlantic looks like Hermine is just off African coast and Igor approaching the coast with Julia Karl and Lisa here before the end of September at this rate. Take care everyone be safe.

From what the people at Island Harbour and Searocks tell me there hasn't been alot of structual damage but our carefully nurtured trees have taken a beating and electric was down, but the land lines have been working all the time (well done LIME), the worry is that apparently some of the poles along Long Pond Road were leaning and if they are weakened and Gaston arrives with any force they will probably go. Sometimes two moderate storms one after another do more damage than one big one. Anyway my best wishes to everyone and take care. JH Little Bay Barn P.S. My neighbour on the Searocks says she will send me some photos of the area, I'll pass them on when I get them. __________________________________________________________________]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:39:02 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/anguilla.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/anguilla.shtml?id=1283427542_66350 stormCARIB Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:20:04 EDT http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/bvi.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/bvi.shtml?id=1283426404_64046 stormCARIB
