So unique and beautiful thank you for sharing

Great video Dave and Diane ❤. Love the underwater park video segments! Hopefully I’ll be able to go there and see them myself someday 😊. I’ve heard that there is a huge lake in Grenada that was created by a very old extinct volcano at the top of one of their mountains. I assume the volcano created the mountain too? Maybe you guys will be able to go there someday. If you do, take some pics!!!

Awesome video!

Another great video.

Thanks for sharing and your help ❤The cruisers there have all been amazing

That's amazing! Great job with the video and thank you for sharing. y'all are the best and God really used you to help so many❤❤❤

nice story, thank you..

the best of sailors in the worst of times, blessings for your efforts. biggest issue for solid sailors in such a weather is inexperienced sailors who don't know how to truly anchor. several friends despite professional efforts have lost boats by other boats drifting down on them in hurricanes and/or sudden, harsh weather. never trust the forecast, always help your neighbor.

Thank you for sharing!! :)

Why stay in the hurricane areas in storm season? I seem to have sailed for 40 years and 206,000 miles without ever having done this. Why didnt you go to Trinidad or Panama by early May? You got away with this because luck. No other reason. Luck is not a plan.

My first insurance plan was Egmont Bay..I was docked back then at Petite Calivigny bay after I bought my boat. Never had to use it but looks like I would have been well situated there. Tyrrell Bay mangroves, my next choice? Not so much. 😢 so sorry for Carriacou.

Thx for the video. Now the "stupid behavior" by a lot of sailers regarding "the handling of the hurricane" makes more "sens".

Thank you for your service and hearts to help.

Glad you made it ok. I was planning on taking my catamaran down there in August. How are things there? Do they have basic services?

Glad yall made it through safely. We were planning to retire to a large powercat, do the great loop, and then bounce around the Caribbean, but the threat of massive storms against fiberglass on the water, made us reconsider. Having lived in Puerto Rico before, we felt confident in full concrete houses to withstand the weather, so have switched gears to move back there at the end of the year. Love the romantic feeling of being on the water and moving around, but at our ages, dont feel the confidence to do it safely.

On youtube, Mr weatherman Plus had very accurate predictions

Thanks for sharing

Just subscribed. We live in the south west of Haiti in Port-a-Piment. We were fortunate that Beryl passed just south of us doing no more damage than breaking a few tree branches. I anticipate worse weather later this year.

I suvive the hurrican Allen 1980 in beque i Was 10 we had 5 kids 2 Adults it was a waram cat so i know how it feels we lost everytzing subvived on Mangos.i am sending healing enery to ma favoured Island carracou,mayarou, Union canuan.i live in barbados

Sailingg Fair Isle bolted to Trinidad. I'm bummed about Carricou.

wow, the one place you chose to ride out a hurricane was directly in its path.

Boats always arrive in a hurricane hole last minute. Your best laid plans will be in ruins should the hurricane intensify and poorly secured boats litter the anchorage. If your boat is in working order, the best hurricane plan is to leave. I am always shocked by the lemming like behavior of cruisers in the path of a hurricane. Just leave and reduce your risk of damage to zero. It's not hard. Having seen the damage to Grenada in 2004 from Ivan, there is no other safe policy. We would never leave a boat in Grenada for hurricane season. You are rolling the dice.

I am also a cruiser this year I was convinced Grenada was going to get hit, I left Canouan on wednesday was in Guadeloupe thursday, I think the best place to stay during hurricaine season is Martinique

Beautiful intro of St Lucia.

Thanks for the footage and your heartfelt comments re the islands of Carriacou and other outlying islands. They are beautiful with beautiful people and they are resourceful. They will build back stronger and safer over time. Trinidad was for us the best/safest place to be for our boat and we left on the Saturday afternoon from St George’s, arriving at Chaguaramas early Sunday. Dropped anchor along with numerous other vessels and rode out the tail end of Beryl. We did consider Egmont Bay and had already checked this out on our was via east coast of Grenada as a potential safe haven but that just wasnt safe for us. Long story short - if you see it coming sail away - north or south just get out of its way, its the maritime thing to do…………

Beautiful. Where is this?

Please learn how to pronounce Carriacou. The people deserve that much.

1) Thank you for posting this. Having family members spread across the islands affected - I can tell you watching the footage: people were beside themselves waiting to get word. Carriacou, Petit Martinique, Union, Canouan, Mayreau (probably the worst because of her diminutive size). It has been heartbreaking to see the scale of the devastation and come to terms with their unrecognizable form. 2) Thank you for signposting where and HOW people can donate in the interim - basic necessities are a must. Being a cruiser you know the meaning of water. Sanitation and shelter, Those being the most important. Please let people understand the most vulnerable in any society are children and the elderly. We in the Caribbean will continue to be victims of climate change - all it takes is a couple degrees in temp to increase, prolific storms and sea levels rising - this is a reality for us. . 3) My hope is that people like you continue to spread the word. The Caribbean has given so much to so many, of her lands and her people. I hope the world reciprocates. But I wont hold my breath. 4) Hopefully those big beautiful Russian/Ukrainian owned mega yachts that we see gliding around our beautiful harbors, reach into their VERY DEEP 1% pockets and give back to those islands that have opened their cruising grounds to them..... again not holding my breath. I guess Its down to people like us. A heartfelt thank you.

There you are thanking your god for saving you from the devastation that he inflicted on others. Smart lot you are….

Ich lach mich tot. Typisch Amis. Panik bei dem kleinsten Lüftchen. In Norddeutschkand heißt das Schietwetter. Macht euch nicht in die Hose...

Quit talking over one another.

EXCELLENT VIDEO. You two tell it from a mature and not "feel sorry for me" stance. Yes we all should sometimes have done something different but, Oh well I lived through it and learned. Assisting others in need, when they have the need says true love for your neighbor. It was your time to step up and simply assist where possible. In the future when you make videos we will be watching. Mike and Jan C.

You do what you can and help where you can. Been in a couple of situations where the weather forced us to either evacuate in pretty high seas or double anchor in a hurricane hole. Riding these wild storms out is something else. Love all these islands and so glad you have posted where you can donate.

The golden rule is if you can get to a safer destination you should do so. I cant understand how so many boats did not come here ( Trinidad). It was just not worth the risk to stay anywhere near a hurricane. Our hearts are crushed when we see the damage to the Grenadines

Kindness in name and nature too . Give us a yell if you see us down island on Trinity. We're northern US at moment but heading south come winter.

Hi guys, Question, is it safer to be in a catamaran or a monohull in these situations? Could you share your experience of catamaran or a monohull pros and cons regarding heavy weather ??

THANKYOU good work ! GLAD YOUR SAFE

She aint going nowhere to help nobody!!!!

My sister house was damaged in union island ....St.Vincent and the Grenadines.i know u are looking for trustworthy source to donate and I m hoping you can donate to her also along with her 4 year old daughter

It's the twisters in the eye that do most of the big damage.

❤❤❤❤❤

I see you got my Chopper in the video 😉
