Yes it has been strange indeed.
Storms were following us as we left St Thomas Sunday night (1-15) and we doubled back to the island so it would calm down a bit making it easier for people to sleep. Someone even called asking why we were returning to St Thomas so apparently people do actually watch the information channel.
Tortola is just a short jump away so no worries. The lightning did hit the water real close a few times with a nice report similar to heavy sixteen inch guns found on those nasty looking navy vessels. :Q
