Dorian help for the Bahamas


Since Dorian passed through our vicinity just North of Bequia as a storm, it has developed into a major hurricane, possibly the most powerful one yet for the Atlantic.

He is currently devastating part of the Bahamas, and barely moving away. Some footage from the stricken areas have been posted online with the request to share, so I include that below to give you an impression.

As all island nations are in this together there is a very practical way to help.
In the same way Dominica, after hurricane Maria, received aid from all sorts of vessels  transporting food, water, building materials, and other essentials the International Rescue Group  (IRG) in partnership with the Seven Seas cruising association's Yacht relief alliance  has opened registration for all vessels that can carry supplies,

And if you have supplies or donations and don't know how to ship them  you can notify them HERE and they will match a vessel to your shipment if available.
