Good Morning,

Culebra received 2/10 inch of very refreshing rain last night.  I believe it was the first part of a tropical wave we have had this season.  Very welcome rain and made for a beautiful sunrise this morning:

I have been able to enjoy some snorkeling with the Hawksbill Turtles here in Culebra, and finally got around to making a video.  Hope you enjoy it,  William

Good Morning,

 Another clear/dry day for Culebra.  Our rainfall total for April was 0.3 inches, the least amount of rainfall for this month since 1997.  In 1997 we had good rains in the months before April, more than 7 inches.  This year we only have a total amount thus far of 3.9 inches.  Rain is predicted for this weekend, lets hope May brings rain.

I have attached some Culebra photos: first is today's sunrise and then two Hawksbill Turtle photos taken last week while snorkeling,  Enjoy,  William
