When we were there the end of April into very early May they hadn't had any serious rain in ages and the brown burned grasses and shrubbery were sad to look at. And coupled with it was the volcanic ash that made the sky literally gray and vague. We never saw Saba but once over the almost three weeks we were there, and the one day we did, it was only a vague image in the ocean but had we not known it was there, we probably would have completely missed it. Is the ash still an issue? For everyone's sake, I surely hope NOT.
