weather back to normal in Antigua today (SATURDAY aug 18th)

a lovely sunny day with about 18 knot of winds blowing at the moment. There still seems to be some wave action on the west and south coast, but nothing that big. Boats are out running around in Jolly Beach and with no damage reported from the outer rim of Hurricane Dean i think we were very lucky. My bad knee isn't even hurting that much after an awesome windsurfing session yesterday. This pic was taken this morning when i got up. We were lucky in Antigua but it sounds like many other islands to our south were not. Jamaica and other areas better be prepared for Dean which has grown and strengthened.
interesting site showing how little we actually get hit by storms: http://www.hurricanecity.com/city/antigua.htm
Never knew about those people killed in 1960!
