Weather today looks to be gusty, with building swells coming from east northeast winds expected to be in the 15 to 20 knot zone. Surfers, get happy!
There is a small craft advisory out, but I don't think surfboards count.
The infamous *chance of showers * always is possible as well, along with thunderstorms. I don't see it, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. So please wear the lightning deflector hat as issued on your arrival to Culebra. If you did not get the hat, find refuge in a local bar. It is almost exactly the same.
The sun is out, the sky is bright, washed out blue skies and hardly a cloud to be seen, right now.

I thought I would be so smart, and tell you that Americans call it a pram, but when I wiki'd it, it appears that Mirror Class is a type of pram.

I thought that a pram was the British word for a baby carriage. Now I learn that it is also the word for this type of prow

Abe, that's an Optimist. Mirror's are configured slightly differently (after looking them up, I think they are popular in the UK, and used everywhere, but I've never seen one).
