Anyone staying on Orient or there now that can give a current wind, seaweed and conditions report? Thanks.
I made a quick drive up by Maho and sand had washed over the road. It was passable but with the wind and waves, they may have to clear it at some point.

How is Simpson Bay? Based on what I see on the weather apps Cupecoy, Mullet, Grand Case and Friars will probably have large waves through today but should calm down after that. Not that I study this stuff, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I prefer the Isle seat

Simpson Bay (from a distance) looks ok. I was a little surprised Maho looked like it did. On Monday Mullet Bay was very nice with the occasional big wave and then it would calm down. The beached sailboat is about 3 or so properties from The Horny Toad and D'Boat (what a disaster and poorly thought-out venture that was) is still stuck in Beacon Hill.
Not a lot of younger people would get the Holiday Inn Express deal.

When Mullet Bay is nice, you can't beat it but I have experienced conditions as you mentioned and been rolled a few times in my younger days.
I thought maybe it was just me but the temperature and humidity (along with the water temperature) sure seems more intense this year compared to just a year ago.

We may give Orient a shot tomorrow so I will update. What it is today, tomorrow and Tuesday could all be different.

Hey, I have yet to see either one of you. You need to hit Lee's for happy hour.
