NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center updates its Atlantic hurricane season outlook every August. Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at the Climate Prediction Center. Said, “Storms through October will form more frequently and become more intense than we’ve seen so far this season.” Across the entire Atlantic Basin for the whole season — June 1 to November 30 — NOAA’s updated seasonal outlook projects, with a 70 percent probability, a total of Info 14 to 19 named storms (top winds of 39 mph or higher), including seven to ten hurri- canes (top winds of 74 mph or higher), of which three to five could be major hurri- canes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of at least 111 mph). These ranges extend well & Updates above the long-term seasonal averages of 11 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. As this issue of Compass goes to press, Hurricane season 2011 has made the record books by having had eight Tropical Storms so far without any reaching hurricane status. So if the predictions are correct, the next couple of months will be busy with NOAA Updates Hurricane Predictions, Caribbean Prepares hurricane watches. Last month, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Meanwhile, the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) is helping issued its updated 2011 Atlantic hurricane season outlook, raising the number of Caribbean nations prepare for the expected tropical cyclones. This assistance takes expected named storms from its pre-season outlook issued in May. Forecasters also two forms. The first is that CCRIF has made available its Real-Time Forecasting System NOAA (RTFS) to all its members. The RTFS is a storm-impact forecast tool which provides users with real-time hurricane hazard and impact information and can support users in effective disaster preparedness and response, evacuation decision making, and planning for pre-positioning of equipment and supplies, as well as in contingency planning to secure critical infrastructure and operations prior to a hurricane. The second form of assistance provided by CCRIF relates to the provision of train- ing in the effective use of the RTFS. During July, in collaboration with the Caribbean Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology and Kinetic Analysis Corporation, CCRIF provided two sets of training on the RTFS. Seventy-eight persons from 18 countries in the Caribbean region participated in the two-day online training course. Participants included personnel from disaster-management departments and meteorological offices, ministries of planning, agriculture and finance, as well as a number of international development agencies working in countries across the region in disaster risk management. CCRIF was developed through funding from the Japanese Government, and was capitalized through contributions to a multi-donor Trust Fund by the European Union; the World Bank; the governments of Canada, the UK, Ireland, Bermuda and France; and the Caribbean Development Bank; as well as through membership fees paid by partici- pating governments: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago and the Turks & Caicos Islands.

    May 1, 2016, Lazy Bones Travelogue, Virgin Islands And

    May 1, 2016 Lazy Bones Update: British Virgin Islands (BVI’s), U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico Our last update left off with us setting sail on March 14th from St Maarten, the most northerly of the Leeward Islands, to the British Virgin Islands (BVI’s). Our destination was the island of Virgin Gorda, 84 miles northwest. We left St. Maarten at 5:30 AM and experienced rain squalls most of the day, but we averaged over eight knots and even hit 10.2 knots! We arrived at Virgin Gorda North Sound at 3:30 PM and anchored off Prickly Pear Island. The next morning we took the dinghy across the sound to Gun Creek and cleared in with customs. We came back to Lazy Bones and motor-sailed over to the Bitter End Yacht Club (BEYC), anchored outside the mooring field, and went ashore for lunch. The BEYC is a unique nautical resort that caters to all yachtsmen. They have a small marina, several restaurants, friendly bars, a small grocery store, bungalows, Wi-Fi, a pool, and much more. It’s a great place to hang out, have some drinks, and enjoy a nice meal. At 4:30 we took the dinghy over to Saba Rock for happy hour. This tiny island was owned by Bert Kilbride, a big enthusiast for SCUBA diving, back in the fifties. In the sixties Bert opened the Pirates Pub, set up a few moorings, and Saba Rock became the local sailors’ hangout. In 1997, he sold out to a developer who built an amazing resort on this tiny piece of rock.
