That is scary looking! The cruz bay shot doesn't look as bad.

All I get is sky in that picture...did the camera get blown a bit?
Is that Ruth and Ron's dingy at the pier in Cruz Bay? It's been there since they were working on securing their boat...someone needs to pull it up or something.

The Cruz Bay cam is clearer but it does look like the rain is picking up. I hope it weathers the storm and we don't loose it.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone on island.

It's looking very scary in Cruz Bay now.

I just was going to post that. It's a sailboat for sure.

That sailboat has been there for a month or so - after another storm. I remember the Bongo boys and Capt. Brandi reported on it. I fear that it won't be there but this time tomorrow. I also worry about those other boats in that harbor. The already appear closer to shore than they did before.

No one would be stupid enough to stay on those boats in the harbor during even a Cat. 1 hurricane, would they?

A lot of boats got taken out since this morning, in Chocolate Hole. Waves are certainly kicking up!!

I just don't understand anyone leaving their sailboat lying on it's side derelict like that! Now it'll really be damaged (if it wasn't before!). I would understand if the owners were off-island, but even at that, I'd get someone else to haul it up onshore for me. Oh, to be rich enough to let my sailboat die! Sheesh! What a waste!
