I don't know if this was the reason but after i posted a question re: camera on SSBB FB page, someone posted that I should go to the mahobeach website. SSBB camera has been working as it should since.
I checked the webcam @ 12 noon, only a few people on the beach. I know the cruisers visit this beach but even without the ships, there used to be many tourists there. It always seemed to be crowded pre Irma. Very sad.
Apparently the vast majority went to Maho Beach today. Funny thing is, I'm watching that ship leave right now and my first thought was......that's a BIG ship.
