Crosswinds

Yesterday the winds really starting picking up and by Noon time they were blowing a gale and coming straight out of the south.

That isn't good news for little ol' Saba and their travelers. Saba, having the world's shortest commercial runway AND being right on the edge (as you can see) crosswinds are not the best thing for taking off or landing.

Needless to say all the flights were cancelled for the afternoon which meant that anyone on Saba was stuck here and anyone attempting an arrival was stuck on St. Maarten.

We "instantly" filled any remaining rooms and had a full house last night.

Most of the folks have trucked themselves back down to the airport to attempt passage on the first flight out this morning but based on my vast expertise (which means looking at the flags and how they're flying) it ain't gonna happen.

So I suspect that we'll have them returning right back unless Mr. Gusty up there chills out.

Meanwhile I feel like I've been run over by a Mac Truck. The headache, fever, cold sweats and chills hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday afternoon but I'll need to dose up and get through it.

Happy Breezy Wednesday from Saba.
