Hurricane Irene 28 August 2011

August 2011 has been quite a month.
While we have been relaxing in Praia da Vitoria, World Stock Markets have plunged on Sovereign Debt issues and bad economic data, Gaddafi's Regime in Libya has finally crumbled and now Hurricane Irene is battering parts of the Caribbean, Bahamas and much of the East Coast of the USA.

Unfortunately, once Irene is clear of the USA and leaving Canada, yet another potential hurricane looks likely to be heading west end of next week. Our best wishes go to all our friends on the East coast.
