Where is safe in the Caribbean in Hurricane season?
Created by doina.

Having read about Trinidad we are not too excited about going there as our idea of cruising is not fighting off locals who want to kill you and or steal from you. Is Tobago safer than Trinidad and is Grenada a better bet still? Any suggestions from anyone would be great for a couple of “newbies”! Roy info@noonsite.com Sint Maarten is a good place to consider. Many stay in the landlocked lagoon and many boats race to get there if a cyclone is iminent. Early arrivals are able to get the best positions and prepare. Other alternative is Bobbys Marina on the hard in Grand Bay. Good place to work on boats and to get any gear easily. I intend to put my boat on the hard at Peake’s Yacht services in Chagua
