It was very bad at Orient today. VERY heavy on the south end.

Saw a steady stream float by in front of Flamingo. Luckily nothing came into our beach but I bet BSV got hammered. Hope not.

I'm currently sailing from SXM to the Azores and we are about 200NM to the northeast of the island. There is a lot of sargassum out here, more than I've ever seen. And it is headed your way

Huge patches, one after another sliding by nonstop heading west. Can't imagine what the east facing beaches are getting.

It's everywhere, it's everywhere! Just got back from Bermuda. Saw more of it on the south shore beaches there than I have ever seen before at this time of year.

Looking at SXM Island Cam, there is a huge mat of sargassum on the water against the beach in front of BSV.
