Not so bad

The hurricane was not as bad as expected, winds topped around 60kts from the North as the worst part of the storm was 50 miles to the East. I think a few trees fell over and some minor mud slides and the phone/internet was out for a bit.














We packed up and are now sitting in St Thomas Harbor just off of the new Grande Yacht Haven, the new megayacht marina which just opened. There is a live video feed from one of the buildings. You can see us anchored just off the dock in the middle of the screen. We are the largest boat in the pic. http://www.yachthavengrande.com/index.php?sv_path=4562
















There is a cruise ship in port, diverted from St Martin because of the storm, they are hanging out here for a bit. I just watched as they completed an abandon ship drill, lowered all the life boats and cruised around the bay.
