And now the weather


It is still quite warm and very still for this time of year. The Trade Winds should be howling but  they're not. We've had more calm, nearly windless days in a row in October and November than I ever remember.

There has been a lot of rain up in the mountains this fall. That's good news for the islands water supply. The reservoirs are full. But it's bad news for diving. The rain washes sediment down the rivers and into the ocean. With no wind to drive the currents, the sediment just hangs around making visibility crappy.

On the bright side there has been some fun surf.

That's on of the wonderful things about living here, one of the things we're grateful for: There is almost always something to do. It's a very rare day that weather and ocean combine to keep us inside watching Netflix.
