Ah yes I remember the proverbial "head south" to Trinidad then VE for hurricane season. Shantaran- are the cruisers staying away from VE with all the unrest or??? We were in Porta LaCruze a couple years. I set up the TNR colonies at the Marinas so they could do away with using rat poison in light of all the wee ones running around the Marinas. St.Lucia was interesting- is there still the two classes?? Really rich and really poor?? Going to the central market on the bus was an unnerving experience. We were anchored behind some small off islands once when a wave came thru. It took our 63' mast and laid it parallel to the sea- we had to get in the dingy and literally reach up to save our MOB from flying into the wind. Glad we had put out 3 anchors and secured all below and on deck. Friends lost their life raft and it was free for all dinghies everywhere when it was over. We had ours so retrieved as many as we could and got them back to their rightful owners. Ah the things we do to have freedom on the seas.🐾🐾🐾🐾
