Has anyone else noticed Tropical Storm Lili, now northeast of Trinidad. It is predicted to track across the Caribbean well north of Bonaire as a storm-becoming-a-hurricane. Likely some wind, rain and waves for Bonaire. (http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200213.html) Perhaps the first test of the new Dive Bonaire dock??!!??

Looks like this one's going the proper direction - east to west. Might also counteract some of the weird water movements Lenny introduced into the Caribbean...

OH NO!!!!!!!! From looking at the map, I hope we make it down Wednesday...we are scheduled to leave at 7am from Newark...If the storm interferes and we get stuck in Jamaica Jake, contact Ditta, she's got the keys to our house and start the party without us...just be sure to leave some KKs around...oh yeah and some of the chicken wings (LOL)! See you all on the 26th (I HOPE!)

One part of these weather discussions is the number of previously unknown weather sites that are referenced! :–)

I was saying it was very flat here on the west side (where it should be calm anyone).

My windsurf buddy emailed me the waves a Cai are HUGEEEEEEEEEEE

jake, i did go back and read the "leeward" and was thinking that meant the calm side but had a "blonde moment" and figured that you must have been talking about the "windward" side...oops...guess i better go pull that oceonography book back out! Hope all is ok, cams seem to be stuck.

So much for flat at Cai and the far side. Still worth a pic or two.

Of course, mere moments after I wrote my message above, lightning strike somewhere between here and Telbo and ZAP goes our leased line Internet connection (it's still kind of out - seeing about 40-70% data loss - I'm on a dial-up to post this message).

jake, you did wonderful to get the cams up and going as fast as you did. probably because you wouldnt want all of us folks who miss bonaire so much to have heart seizures or withdrawal agony. ! we need our fixes!!

By Jake Richter - NetTech on Monday, September 30, 2002 - 11:55 am: |
The cams were running the whole time, but I did goose the archive transfers a bit to get the archives up to date :-)
