Prior to beginning our research at Little Inagua, we knew there was some “weather” occurring in the eastern Caribbean that we had to keep our eyes on. At first, we thought we could leave one day early, transit back to Nassau, and avoid the storm. However, when we awoke the morning of August 22nd, Captain Steve informed us that the questionable weather off to the east was blowing up into a Tropical Storm… known as Irene.
