Sargassum Question

We are starting our charter this coming weekend! I was wondering if anyone had some updates on the current status of the sargassum amounts in Anegada...Cow Wreck, Big Bamboo? The North Sound? Monkey Point? Norman?...Thanks!

It was basically a non issue. There certainly was some around but not near as bad as I have seen it.

In the North Sound now and heading there today, but in general agree with George. There is some floating around but it is not building in any of the spots you go to and we have not smelled it. Was worse in early March.

Here on Tortola the worst have seen, and smelled, is at Frenchman's Cay by the bridge from Tortola..nothing on the North Shore so far!!

it depends, peter,cooper,leverick,jvd,anegade,diamond,both white bays, cgb, norman,...nothing but random floaters

tortola by the pier, stinky

Out on the water, no significant rafts.

realtime info.......

This is great news! Thanks so much for your replies.

and should I add...the SG around the VG water station/airport was huge. but no other places on the island.

None at all on Cow Wreck 2 days ago.

@ JVD white bay, the wind switched south and now it has a beachload of sargassum.

We stayed at old yard the month of May and yes toward the end it was building up . Stinky at times depending on the wind but not too bad . The locals are expecting it to be much worse in July / August .

Shut down the power plant.

You would think the water pickups would be well below the low tide water level.

Evidently the pickups are not deep enough. To get deeper, one would need to go out further, which would have cost more money. So guess what happened?

we were there in May - How did I know I had COVID? we drove into town and I couldn't smell it
