Tropical Storm Harvey aftermath on Roatan

Tropical Storm Harvey passed over us last night, blowing by with 60mph winds and a lot of rain. Didn’t even wake me up.

The storm washed a lot of sea grass onto the beach and walkways…

…and flung a Portuguese Man-o-War onto the beach! This is really rare because these guys are usually found only in the Pacific, Indian, and northern Atlantic oceans. They’re almost never this far south. It’s pretty lewd looking, if you ask me…

Also did some damage to the dock in front of Foster’s

Otherwise, all appears to be well on Roatan. Hopefully the sun comes back soon so I can get my scuba diving certification!

    Wow! Great photos, though that first man-of-war shot looks more than lewd – it’s downright dirty! I love it.

    And the sand fleas, how do I aviod that when I’m going to Roatan? 😛
