Maybe a little more wind than one would expect for July but looks great. Last edited by agrimsrud; 07/05/2020 06:09 PM. Life's short - sail more!

I have been using Windy but is there one that’s better?? “Sailflow pro” gives actual live wind data from scattered anemometers. Off the top of my head, there is one on Buck island amongst several others. The live data arrows are a different color then the forecasted ones. Have fun on Always Sunny. Be sure to give us a trip report.

I thought for sure the junk yard dog was going to come greet us. Take note that it's not all that convenient to get rid of your garbage on St. John. The bay was ugly - full of derelict boats. waking up to the ugly junk yard in Coral Harbor. So, Coral Bay has one dingy dock, no trash disposal, junk yard atmosphere on shore and on the water. No plans for improvement. Think Ill give it a miss. Chuck W.
