Jake and all,

Yep, we are watching this one real close in the Virgin Islands...

...It had slowed down,..which in the storm business is bad news,......because that means, it is building in intensity...

..plus, it was tracking North-ish, and harmlessly into the Atlantic, but now has done a due west....bringing it into the Bahama chain and ??...we had a Hurricane do a 90% right turn once to hit St. Croix dead center,...anything can happen.

..our boats are up, stripped and secure,...this next 30 days are the peak 'hit' times......so I just keep the boat packed away.....


...the warm waters feed these storms,...if Francis makes it to the shallow warm Bahama waters,..

...this storm should be past St. Croix early Wed morning,.....the wind is up above the normal 15 mph and we had rain lines come in this morning...

..a certian sea bird, the big Petrel,..is seen alot before a big storm,......I saw them out today,...they soar so high, almost out of sight,..they are like little specks in the sky..

..so, time to prepare

regards,

Bruce
