    Lee, I think Bonaire "probably" avoided most of the impact from Francis and
    now Ivan. The ABC's are just off the northern coast of Venezuela and as
    such just far enough south of the normal hurricane breeding grounds. I know
    a bunch of folks who routinely cruise to the ABCs and/or Venezuela in
    mid-late August just to avoid hurricane damage.

    Of course that's just statistically correct and there are occasional storms
    which defy the "normal" hurricane logic and Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao have
    been hammered from time to time. But it's rare and in this particular case
    I think they dodged these last couple of bullets.
