I have been coming to the island for about 10 years. I was shocked late this afternoon.
Earlier today, as is typically the case, there were lots of boats in Simpson Bay of all sizes, from small sailboats to large yachts. Around 6 pm I went out on the balcony to check out the sunset. All the boats were gone!! The bay was empty other than, count them, 4 (that's not a typo) smaller sailboats. I have never experienced that before. I did take some pics, but will have to figure out how to transfer them to here.
I looked for a weather or marine warning. It is very windy today and swells are reported as 5 to 7 feet, but haven't found any references beyond that. Very strange and a bit eerie.
