Earl’s wind up

Captain John Brandi sends us this video of Hurricane Earl’s wind up as it begins to pummel St. John. This is Cruz Bay, where many boats ended up on the beach by late Monday afternoon.

Day after video of Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole coming next, and for many boat owners, the day after was not pretty.

    Thanks for posting any videos you can, Jeff. We stayed in touch through the Spice Cam, Ruth’s updates and other local friends, but these videos help!!

    Thank you for posting this. Have you been able to get any video of Chocolate Hole yet? We recently sold our boat, which is (maybe was) moored at the mouth. Just curious. i heard it was really bad there for the mariners.
