Well DANNY caused quite a panic here on the island, scared the heck out of anyone that went through the surprise of GONZALO last season... and then he proceeded to become the storm that never showed up... lucky for us. Would have been nice to see some rain, but living on a sailboat in the area, you can imagine the level of concern when a storm breaks CAT3 and heads straight for you. DANNY was obviously too small to survive the dry air mass surrounding us currently, it literally knocked the wind out of him, but now TS Erika has formed right on his heels and is a much bigger storm they say is capable of sustaining itself through the airmass.. it is only forecast to go through as a Tropical Storm, but that's what they said about GONZALO. Everyone feels like we dodged a bullet with DANNY, and after a major amount of preparation as a dress rehearsal for the first major storm since GONZALO.. but now they plan to put all the boats back in the water in the face of ERIKA arriving... I wonder if that is a wise idea... Here is our video playlist about arriving in SXM recently, and our own decision making processes as DANNY approached: 'Sophisticated Lady' Arrives St Martin, and dealing with TS DANNY https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL617uWVV3aozVq_RIxmyT863IfUn7ZXgN
