trade winds or lack thereof

[Andrea J.]

spoke to an acquaintance on island today and she told me that the winds still are not quite back up to speed

when the winds blow............aaaahhhhh
when they cease......................argh!!!!!!!!!!

a windless day in aruba is still better than a great day in the state of maine (just my opinion)

yup aruba outta the hurricane belt for the most part.
but when there is one in the caribbean it seems to suck the trade winds outta aruba due to the storm's air circulation.
