I don't know about San Juan, Cycloneye, but we actually have had BREEZE here on Culebra today...in sweltering heat but at least the air is moving! An almost full moon (that's tomorrow, it is being saved for my birthday!), Summer Solstice, and the largest *appearing* full moon since 1987 (sorry, that's a natural phenom, but not about the weather :oops: )
There's some AIR in the air! A good night to go sailing!

Glad to hear it! No worries, on night sails we don't get far out of Ensenada Honda - it's just for a couple hours of fun.

Wow...I hadn't read that far! I've got friends sailing back to Jost Van Dyke, and now I'm not regretting saying "Next time!"
Maybe I'll just enjoy the moonrise from the Dinghy Dock! Thanks!

Oh man I am sorry that the sailing is off due to the high seas caused by strong winds from tropical wave but as you said you will be at dock. :)
