Tortola and Virgin Gorda (BVI) Update

1237pm Sunday in the Virgin Islands, before Hurricane Earl...

I just talked to  friends of mine in the BVI on their cell phone.  They proclaimed the weather as gorgeous and were out on a day charter with paying guests.  I was flabbergasted to learn they are not aware of  hurricane EARL, thinking it was still far out in the Atlantic, where Invest 97L happens to be.
 
Pictures from Webcams:
 
Cruz Bay, St John, 1211pm Sunday, LOOK at all those boats just sitting there, sails, awnings, and biminis are in evidence on many boats.  Does the threat of 75-100 mph winds not concern them in the least?  This is mind boggling!  Maybe the storm will somehow bypass the islands and nothing at all will happen.
