We are able to provide humanitarian aid to our Caribbean neighbors with our 68-foot cargo schooner, "Star of the Sea."

July 20-July 24







We arrived early in the morning after a long night of 10-12ft seas and high winds. After clearing customs in Mathew Town we anchored and went and checked on the 7 tons of food that was being held by customs. Returning to the boat our weather router informed us that a tropical wave was headed our way and we needed to seek shelter immediately. I was fortunate to meet Captain Stephen Fawkes, marine superintendent for Morton Salt and Mayor of Mathew Town. He had recently installed a 10,000 lb. anchor and mooring ball in Man O War Bay and we were welcome to use it. The following morning we put out our storm gear and rode out the storm when it arrived the following day.
