Were were awakened very early Christmas morning to thunder, lightening and heavy rain that continued for hours. But luckily Grenada was spared the worst of the storm. On the islands of St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Dominica, a storm that one news report called a low-level trough or hurricane swept through the area causing flooding, washing out bridges, and destroying roads and banana plantations. At least 23 people are confirmed dead and several are still missing.
Any cruising boats traveling through the area are encouraged to drop off bottled water, old sails or tarps that can be used to cover damaged roofs, gas or diesel fuel and any other donations.
We have spent a lot of time in St. Lucia, Dominica and the Grenadines. They are beautiful islands with wonderful people.
Our heart goes out to those affected.
