Playing the Part of Tourist
It's amazing to me how drastically the weather changes around here...
For the most of December, and even into the first week of January, the waves on the north side of the island were consistently BIG. Remember the video from Smuggler's Cove??? When we were "body surfing"???
Well, imagine our surprise when we went to Smuggler's over the weekend and saw this:
I wasn't really up for explaining the story about living here, why we came, how we like it, etc...so I said "Sure! Where y'all from?" She said "New York. And whatta bout yous guys?" We said "Tennessee. Thanks for the picture!"
Part of me felt badly for misleading her, but figured I offer to take photos of other people all the time, it was just some good karma coming back our way...

Subtropical Depression Wreaks Havoc on Tortola
Much of the BVI has been under one very large rain cloud these past few days. According to the local forecasters, if this storm organizes any further, it could become Otto. Currently, it's hovering at Subtropical Depression 17 status.
Well, "yet-to-be-named" Otto, you could have fooled me. You've been lashing our little island for three days straight now. There's flash flooding in Road Town. The government has closed schools and offices. We haven't seen the sun in more than 48 hours, which has caused me to - GASP - wear a sweater!
Here are some photos of the roads...
Crazy, right? I think it's time Subtropical Depression 17 moves on outta here!
