So long Earl

Posted on: September 1, 2010

We’ve had quite a few inquiries regarding our safety and the safety of Yes Dear (mostly in that order) since Earl passed through the BVI on August 30th so we thought we should draft a quick blog.

Although there was some damage in the BVI it was mostly to the trees, power lines and a few structures. Anegada and parts of Tortola (north shore and west end) got the worst of it. This morning we received word from Nanny Cay Ship Yard, where Yes Dear is laid up, that she is sitting happily with no damage. It was a bit of a tense day for David (the owner) and Ian and I, however, we came out lucky.

The forecast for a heavy storm season in 2010 seems to be showing some accuracy. Fiona is no longer a threat to the BVI but there’s still a low in the Atlantic we are keeping our eyes on.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

The weather in Canada has been wonderful since we have been home! In November it becomes cold and blustery and snows.  In November the British Virgin Islands become idyllic again!  See you then.
