Greetings to Everybody,
Beautiful month so far in Anguilla but very very dry on the Searocks, .61 of an 
inch of rain so far. We do however have one of the worlds top super yachts in 
at the moment, the sailing version (with carbon fibre sails) of the ‘A’ , 
designed by Philip Stark and owned by a Russian oligarch whose name I can’t 
spell. She is the most extraordinary looking thing, see pic, almost like an 
armoured Chinese junk, but strangely gorgeous as well.
Diving has been fantastic, a lot of sharks around at the moment and I saw a big 
pod of Humpback Wales go by about a week ago, blowing and breaching and 
generally behaving as though life was good.
Congratulations to the Trinidadians responsible for the stained glass costumes 
of the winning troop at carnival, they were simply stunning.
Hope you have a great day.

Another sparkling evening in Anguilla, my cistern is full, still got a week 
before I have to pay my electric bill, diving tomorrow with the wonderful 
Dougie of Special D Diving. What more can you ask for? Hope everyone else is as 
blessed as I am at nearly 73!
My best to all who are a part of or follow Stormcaib and my thanks and 
appreciation to Gert and Dave, who make this website possible.

P.S. come on down and help us recover from last years hurricanes, we are coping 
(somewhat) but need all the help we can get.

The beauty of this evening is amazing, and we are only just beginning, I am not 
sure I will make the eclipse, I will try, but as the pics show, right now is 
magic. I feel so privileged to have been able to see the best our world has to 
offer. Enjoy it everyone if you are not covered by cloud.
My very best to everyone,

To all the Stormcarib family and followers, I wish you the best for the festive 
season.

Good Evening to All,
Today is supposed to be the end of Hurricane Season 2018, lets so hope so. The 
current temp is 80f on the gallery, and the total rain fall for November here 
on the Searocks has been 9.98 inches, wonderful!  The last few days have been 
still and hot with only a slight breeze, I think the system north in the 
Atlantic is sucking all our trade winds away.
The pic I have attached is an odd one taken of the reflection of the view in my 
sliding doors, so the fish that you see on my wall are inside the house. A 
different angle perhaps.
Have a great night.
My best to everybody,
JH
Searocks 
P.s. don’t forget white rabbits in the morning, so that we will all have a good 
Christmas (maybe Santa Claus will put a private jet in my stocking!)
Chance would be a fine thing.

Since 02 November we have had 2.93 inches of rain, and last night the most 
violent thunder and lightning storm, less than 3 miles from the Searocks, I 
counted in between the lightning and thunder, had one pillow over my head, 
another below and the sheets tight over my eyes as the lightning was so bright, 
it lit up the whole night.  Needless to say, small brown dog in typical Border 
Terrorist fashion took no notice at all.
In hopes of a quieter night this evening.

Having arrived here, pale, tired, exhausted, just over a week ago, with very 
hot weather and a hardly noticeable breeze coming from the north west, no doubt 
due to Oscar sucking everything away from the Caribbean. Today, we have had 
nearly an inch of rain (much needed by me, as when I arrived, everyone said all 
the cisterns were full, but to my horror when I measured mine it was only a 
quarter full - panic of course). I have now had 9 great nights of sleep, I am 
not so pasty, the wonderful Ishlyn has come to my porch and painted my toenails 
blue and silver, I was diving with Dougie yesterday for an hour off Sandy 
Island with some very nice visitors from Atlanta and South Carolina, I have 
local fruit and Californian wine in my fridge, and the world seems a different 
place, also the breeze has gone back to the north east and is strong and 
refreshing. This,
my friends, is the power of Anguilla. I feel a different person.  All around 
Anguilla I see signs of rebuilding and recovery from hurricane Irma. Come down 
if you can and refresh. The current temperature on my balcony is 82 degrees. 
The picture I send you is Lake Ullswater in the English Lake District, taken 2 
weeks ago, and the other is sunset here last night. Have a great weekend, and 
with hopes that the Storm God has gone back to sleep.

Good Evening all,
The rainfall on the Searocks in April was roughly .95 of an inch, my kind 
Canadian neighbour read my rain gauge but I am not exactly sure of the dates.
Here in the UK everyone  is in wedding fever, I wish Prince Harry and Meghan 
Markle the very best and much happiness.  Goodness knows it must be a hard life 
in the media eye all the time.
I attach, just for interest 2 pics, one of our native Fell Ponies sleeping in 
the sun, and I can’t resist showing the small brown dog (Border Terrier) in her 
natural habitat.
Have a great evening,
Joanie Howard,
Little Bay Barn
