Our first fully formed Atlantic tropical storm passed well north on Monday between Martinique and St Lucia. Winds of 50-60Knts. Glad we were not in her sights, although for a brief time, she did take a swing towards us for a few hours before turing away again! Phew.

Two more tropical waves heading across the Atlantic now, so next week may see some more action. Fingers crossed! Its all a bit nerve-wracking.
