USVI-On-Line

Looks like Tropical Depression 17 had its way with the web cams...

Any news? Hope all is OK.....

I miss my mnorning fix!

So sad to see there's a boat sinking on The Spice cam this morning.

Maybe it's my eyes, but is there 2 people in the boat?

I think it will be ok. Turn the bilge pump on. That should take care of it.

ugh, i'm sitting here looking over cruz bay. this is our second day of rain. yesterday was awful and we even lost power for a bit. i'm not going to be a happy camper if I come back without a tan.

But I'm still going for a swim in the rain

And the soggy cam looks horrible as well. The water has gone from turquoise to brown

Yuck!

Connie it does look like the boat will be okay. For a few minutes it looked like they would lose it.

Leslie, we feel your pain! Our villa owner is out in this mess right now trying to secure his boat on chocolate hole. Just 2 boats left!
. . . And we're out of rum!

On the spicecam now it looks like that boat is going down and it still looks like there are people aboard

I magnified my web browser I had the same thought at first that people were on board, under magnification it is just the steering console we are seeing

Yeah, plus it hasn't moved in the last 30 min. Hard to watch, hard to turn away. Feel bad for the owner. Almost totally under now.

Is there a person on the bow of that boat now???

There's definitely someone trying to work on it now!

It looks like he's trying to pull up the mooring ball and that size boat probably has an outboard motor, but I can't see one.

Poor guy, I wish somebody would help him.

I think the motor is underwater

I sure wish he had help, too! At least he's trying. It just sounds terrible down there right now.
