Ernesto has the potential to be menacing but I doubt it is going to be more than rain, wind, and waves for us .. and a few days off for the toursim industry. Of course that means delayed shipping of produce, beer and the rest but the bars have enough. Personally I would like another big one .. say Cat 3 like Hurricane Michelle. Most of the people still on the island have been through enough hurricanes to tell the difference between real ones and play ones .. but since Hurricane Ivan which devastated us and sorted out the pansies from the real men most of us are a little bit more cautious than normal. Here’s to a good season and plenty of surf !
UPDATE: as of 6am Ernesto is officially the Tropical Atlantics first hurricane. oh and now it’s missing us.
