This episode has been a roller coaster ride. So many brave people telling us their stories, sharing their footage, and all while they are receiving no outside help for themselves.
The mangroves in Carriacou were supposed to be safe. A hurricane hole where those who couldn’t escape the storm by sailing further south, would be able to tie up their boats and sit out the worst of the hurricane. It didn’t work.
In the past two weeks cruisers here have been helping each other recover boats. Most boats are badly damaged, others have sunk to the bottom of this shallow lagoon. Nearly all the boats have been looted.
Operation Cruisers Aid is a charity that started out as cruisers helping people on land. They have provided much needed emergency aid. However, they have agreed that since the bigger NGOs have arrived, OCA could provide any future funds they receive to help cruisers. They have already provided a crash pump and flotation aids to help get boats out before they are lost. They are now coordinating the relief effort for cruisers here. As of 19th July, please send funds to https://gofund.me/a4e7a59d'>https://gofund.me/a4e7a59d
which is the new hub for coordinating aid to the cruisers who need it.
Any proceeds from this video will be going directly to the cruisers who need our help.
