webcam weather assesment??

I tend to look at 3 or 4 webcams around St John a few times throughout the day and it sems to me that there has been very few truely sunny days in the past month or so. Is that if fact the case, and is it normal for this time of year?

one hour a week on St John

Yesterday I posted a breakdown of what "investment" is made for a week in St John (see "island time is mainland money" posting) I found the responces very interesting. The second part of the equation was not discussed much. Regardless of how much money is spent, I found the time ...

If it's just your wife and you, why would it cost $8,000.00. Condo = Yes, we're staying on STT (OMG). If you can't go on vacation in the Virgin Islands for no more then 1/2 of what you're spending or maybe a little more, I think you should re-evaluate what your priorities are in a vacation. Well Co...

I had them both last month and I have to say it depends on what kind of mood you're in as to which you might prefer at any given time. I had the Skinny's burger while sitting at the bar and watching a football game. The burger was fat, juicy, tasty, and absolutely hit the spot with about 4 beers. T...

That's a big help.
Thank you both so much.
:D

Not looking for anything fancy.
From what I've read here the lunch spots have great people and great food.

Thanks for the input.
Anyone know if there are taxis in Coral Bay that run to areas like yawzi point and Ram Head, similar to the taxis from Cruz Bay to Trunk Bay and other north shore beach areas?
