It has been much stormier than usual in the Caribbean this winter with frequent fronts and wind shifts making for some challenging cruising. A list of weather resources relied upon by Caribbean cruisers (updated January 2024), including active VHF nets, can be found in Caribbean Compass.
There have been good reports from cruisers visiting Dominica. Rachel Lewis reports: "Our first season and our first visit to Dominica. From the no-sales-pitch "Welcome" as we entered Portsmouth, to the friendly beach party, the ever-present helpful hand at the PAYS dinghy dock and the never-ending support through some turbulent weather, PAYS made the entire experience of visiting Portsmouth/Dominica a pleasure. We will be back and Dominica should be proud of this grass-roots initiative."
Prickly Bay Customs and Immigration in Grenada are back open as a fully functioning port of entry and departure for yachts.
