Charter Yacht Pacific Wave & Hurricane Tomas

We know that the charter yacht Pacific Wave likes to hang out in St Lucia so we contacted Lynn & Mark to see how they fared with Hurricane Tomas.

Hi Sheila & Bob

We're safe & so is Pacific Wave.

We were however at anchor in Bequia so we were 25 miles South of the eye, and we took a battering for for about 30 hours, but fortunately all is good!  We were very glad that we renewed our anchor chain which was only 3 years old, we shipped really good quality chain from the UK to Trinidad last month & overhauled our anchor windlass, money well spent!  We had to re-anchor at one point on Saturday afternoon at the height of the storm in 75 knots, but all was fine.

There's one yacht on the rocks & another cat demasted but apart from that most of the yachts survived.

I'm glad that it didn't head to you. [We are at anchor in St Croix aboard our sailboat]

Thanks for thinking about us.  We're just going on charter now, we have a Bequia pickup, hence why we're here.

Best wishes & hopefully see you both soon.

Lynn & Mark

The Virgin Islands were not affected by Hurricane Tomas. We are surprised that we didn't get much rain.  In fact, where we are, you couldn't tell that there was a category 2 hurricane 230 miles to the south.


Hope it continues to fizzle out and won't become a threat to Haiti or others.
