Change in Plans

Cane Garden Bay

Our plan for today (thursday) was to head to Normand Island, but a tropical wave came in last night and gave us a tremendous thunderstorm system that lasted for hours. It was 'rock and roll' on the boat with lightening striking all around. We were on a mooring ball, so we had no real concerns other than a lightening strike and we stayed in the aft cabin of the boat - away from the mast.

Jan was not able to sleep much at all. This morning, we listened to the weather radio and there was a warning of more thunderstorms with Small Craft Avisories, so we're staying put for a day.

Currently, we've taken a cab over the mountain to road harbor (the largest town in the BVI) and checking out the weather on the windward side. Currently, it looks like Norman island is a go for tomorrow.
