If you look at the Sunset Maho cam right now, you will see what the weather is doing. I have watched the beach slowly erode many times,but have never seen the sand just shale away like an ice floe.

Yes, but those are inside the lagoon, where they are somewhat protected and not subject to the larger waves of the open sea. And most of those larger boats are always there. That's where they dock.

There is at least one sailboat run aground in Simpson Bay. Ferry service to Anguilla ceased. Obviously the seas are rough.

Windguru and other websites show why. With southern winds and a big swell, Simpson Bay is going to be untenable for boats. Most have fled inside the lagoon, as the winds are clocking and at some point every anchorage is going to be bad for next couple of days. The 3m south swell is going to wreak havoc.
