P. 89 Nov. Sail Magazine: Advises that Kick 'em Jenny, 6 miles north of Grenada may be "rising to the surface." It also states that "a major eruption at Kick ‘em Jenny could generate 60 to 120 foot waves that would reach as far as Puerto Rico to the north and Venezuela to the south. Shepherd believes that the majority of the energy of a tsunami from Kick ‘em Jenny would be funneled by the Aves Ridge toward St. Maarten, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands." I've searched the net, found three notes, one in English and two others (German and Spanish), in the last few months. The English posting wasn't too recent. Has anyone been in the Grenada / Grenadine region, and what is being said there?

That would really..

ruin your charter, wouldn't it? The best place to be when that happened would be Secret Harbor. MPJ

Exactly

You hit it on the head. Problem is not knowing the probabilities. Its been dormant for a few years, but was active off and on for a number of years. Can't seem to find much on the net. Can anyone translate Spanish: http://www.larutadelsol.com/especial/jenny/ or Norwegian http://home.eunet.no/~jorgenaa/volcan/jenny.html The US data does provide much to support Sail Magazine: http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/WestIndies/KickEmJenny/description_kick_em_jenny.html

"NOT" omitted.

US data does NOT provide much data to support the Sail Magazine note. Sorry, the word NOT was omited.

No Big Deal

The Spanish language page said the eruptions were not considered dangerous. The top of the volcano is at 4300' (depth) Jim "Prospect"

Thanks

Appreciate the interepretation of the articles. Won'e be a problem until it comes closer to the surface, which may be a while. Noted that reports indicate no surface action at this time.
