ESCAPE TO

THE SUN

THE CARIBBEAN IS STILL A CRUISING PARADISE. TERYSA

VANDERLOO SPENT TWO SEASONS EXPLORING

hile many of the Leeward Islands suffered terrible damage at

the hands of Hurricane Irma, much of the Caribbean remains

very much open for business. The Caribbean includes some

7,000 islands – each with its own unique character and

geography – spread over 1 million square miles, and many

southerly islands were unaffected by the two storms of Irma and Maria.

A huge number of communities across the Caribbean depend heavily on

tourism, with dozens of small businesses set up to support visiting

yachtsmen. If you are planning a season cruising, there are many

options where visiting sailors will be welcomed and the Caribbean

experience is still waiting to be explored.
