This is hurricane season. It starts right after Easter and goes through October. Barbados is located so far south and east - that most of the time, the little island is not affected by hurricanes. But, what starts as a tropical wave here on our island - will usually turn into a tropical storm and then a hurricane that reaches the USA. So, right now - with it being the month of August - we are having more than usual tropical waves passing through. When these storms pass through, you can bet on that there is going to be mass amounts of seaweed that wash ashore. I saw this mass of seaweed from my balcony on Friday - and took a picture of it:
And then here is what it looks like once it reaches shore. Just masses of this stuff. Shame that no one has found a way of using this stuff for profit. Usually, after a few days the seaweed starts to dry up - it turns a black wilted color and then, it just vanishes away after a few weeks.
