Help Victims of Beryl!
Update! - 2024-11-11
I will be headed to the Grenadines this month. I will visit with the people we have assisted and see what more needs to be done to get these small family businesses back in operation. We believe it is the right thing to do for them and benefits coastal cruisers such as ourselves, as these are the people who provide us services and assistance when we are cruising their shores and harbors.
I hope to provide more information after getting my feet back on the water there.
The need still exists. Information about how you can contribute to this cause is below.

Thank you to all who have donated to help victims of Hurricane Beryl in St. Vincent and the Grenadines! With your help, we have been able to put thousands of dollars in aid directly into the hands of people in need.
We have chosen to focus on people who work on the water providing services to cruisers like us. These islanders rely on their small skiffs to provide mooring assistance, act as water taxis, provide catering, and many other goods and services. Unfortunately, many of those skiffs were damaged or destroyed in the hurricane, effectively shutting down their small businesses. We have been providing aid to assist these people in repairing/replacing these boats to help them get back in business and restore their individual incomes.
The need still exists, so if you are interested in helping us in this cause, please see below!
Dear Friends,
Union Island, one of the smaller islands in the Grenadines, was one of the most heavily struck by the devastating Hurricane Beryl. Many families have lost their homes, belongings, and sources of livelihood. As the community comes together to rebuild, we are reaching out for your support.
Anyone who has sailed with us in the Grenadines will remember the wonderful people who support us there with their services. Captain Neil and his crew at Beach BBQ in the Tobago Keys, Jon T of Happy Island, and Alex, the historian of Chatham Bay, are just a few of the people who are falling in the gaps from other support programs that are currently focused more on the larger islands. Enable Adventure hopes to bridge that gap by going there in person and offering assistance to these people we know who have been so helpful to us in the past.
Your donation can make a significant difference in providing immediate relief and starting long-term recovery efforts. Contributions will go towards essential supplies such as food, clean water, clothing, and medical care, as well as rebuilding homes and infrastructure.
No amount is too small, and every bit helps. Together, we can help our friends in Union Island recover from this tragedy.
