We figured with only two large ships in port it would be a good day to go to SSB...and...a few days ago the beach was huge. Well....duh....weather was a MAJOR issue. Significant wave action washing the sea into the road and removing the sand from the previous few days.

But then the rain came....and came.....I originally went to get a pic of AF landing at145p and ended up taking shelter at SSB bar to wait. As scheduled AF came in but approached right over the bar instead of the normal path and then aborted landing....figured it would just make a circle and return but it did not. Also an AA flight came in and also aborted and another AA flight never came in

As we were driving away from SSB AF made another aborted attempt to land

As I type this AF just landed (322p) after circling for over 90 minutes. Both AA flights are still in the air. Guess AF had enough fuel to hang out for that long....

So much for the pic

Ok...so an edit as typing....The 145p AF(AF538) flight actually diverted to Guadeloupe and the one that just landed was another scheduled AF flight for 315p

AA from Miami was diverted to ST. Kitts

AA from CLT ended up in SJU
