After a hiatus... Caribbean and New England

Finally got blogspot to open and allow a new entry. The mysteries of Norm and electronic/digital technology.

Winter in Caribbean working at St Thomas Sailing Center and on charter in the BVI for Swain Sailing. The USVI and BVI got very badly damaged by Irma and Maria, two Cat 5 hurricanes. Working those areas was a challenge as so many normally available items were hard to find. It is not that the locals were unable to work and do repairs. From where wold the repair supplies come?  Once on island, where would they be stored pending use?

Some pictures from the winter follow:
