Waiting for Earl
Earlier today we saw The Pirate Ship of Frank Bay sunset fame sailing across Hart Bay to safety in Hurrucane Hole. You can barely see it in the photo.
This was looking east at the gathering storm clouds beyond Chocolate Hole East and Virgin Grand Estates. That's Earl. He's out there.
In an effort to stave off or at least postpone my traditional Pre-Hurricane Full-On Anxiety Attack, I am thinking that maybe it's a good thing to get the Hurricane Test out of the way immediately on a brand new house. That way you don't have to wonder about it.
I'll let you all know how that works out. Thanks for all the good wishes.
Everyone in the path of Earl, stay safe.

it's been awhile since I had a chance to read much less reply to anything on this forum. Hadn't realized you'd built a house in the interim, Ruth! FAST for island time or else I've been away a LOT longer than I though!!
Anyway, as soon as I heard about Earl, I've been glued to my computer watching the weather sites and all related forums. We're due to come down there towards the end of September--sure hope our villa we're staying at makes it through ok!
BUT mostly hope that all the lovely people I've been privileged to meet & get to know a bit on what I think is one of the most special places on this earth, come through all this safe and sound.
I am definitely PRAYING for everyone & everything on St. John. You've heard the phrase "praying up a storm?" Wel, I'm not doing that, instead I'm "praying DOWN AND AWAY a storm"
