Being Prepared
It’s hurricane season in the Caribbean, which means lots of charter boats aren’t being used. Since there isn’t enough room for all the boats at charter company docks, and since charter company docks aren’t the safest places for boats to be during hurricanes, a lot of them get moved to a convenient 'hurricane hole'. This is what it looks like:
One of the best shelters in the British Virgins is Paraquita Bay, not far from the big charter boat bases at Road Town. The bay is unusual in that the entrance is barely big enough to get a 45-ft catamaran in. Once the boats are in, they are secured with very heavy cables.
Having been involved in hurricane prep several times, I can appreciate what the crew's managing these boats had to go through.
