Looks like invest 96L will pass below the BVI's with tropical winds in the low range of tropical storms. So maybe some rain and some wind.

As of 11 AM from the NHC, no watches or warnings for the BVI YET, but according to Storm Carib, the closest point of approach for Tortola is 71 miles, at 7:48 PM on Saturday.
Stay safe out there, people!

USCG St. Thomas will close the VI seaports at 8 PM Friday. Ferry to St Croix to be closed 9/16 - 9 / 21.
Going to be a tough weekend for travelers.

Latest from Storm Carib has the closest point of approach as 119 miles away, at 6:48 PM Saturday. Hopefully just a rain event, as Thorsten says.
Stay safe everyone!

The dinghy dock looks just as rickety as I remember. If you are referring to the CGB dock, I was there earlier this summer and it was in pretty good shape, relatively speaking.

If you dont fall through it..its in good shape! Haha, Mal. It sounds like some of the slats have broken over the summer. When I was there in May, I was shocked that there was not a single broken or missing slat. Far from safe, but def much better shape than usual.
