Caribbean Sea outlook - November update

by Noonsite 5 Dec 2024 08:35 PST

Weather: Caribbean Compass have put together a handy list of updated Caribbean weather websites, nets and services for the 2014/15 season.

Sailing Guides: Don't miss the free Doyle Guides App if you are planning on exploring the Caribbean this season. Plus the 2025 editions of the Cruising Guide to the Southern Leeward Islands and the Cruising Guide to the Northern Leeward Islands are now available in hard copy.

Venezuela/Aruba: A solo sailor was slightly injured when a mysterious bullet was fired at his vessel while he was motor-sailing offshore between Venezuela and Aruba. In reporting the incident to the CSSN, the captain said no vessels could be seen nearby, no further shots were fired and no vessel approached.

Grenada: Prickly Bay Marina Customs and Immigration is now open (08:00-16:00 Mon-Fri & 09:00-14:00 Sat/Sun). Overtime charges apply on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

St. Lucia: A yacht that arrived in Soufriere and took a mooring, left their boat unlocked when visiting friends on a neighbouring yacht for a couple of hours. On their return they discovered that they had been boarded and burgled. Do your research before you go and know what security protocols to practice to keep your valuables safe.

Bahamas: There is now a $200 per person, non-refundable fee for processing extensions of stay. The first cruisers of the season arriving in the Bahamas this month were adversely affected by some confusion when the new fee was implemented, however it now seems that things have settled down and cruisers that hold a 3 month cruising permit should be cleared in for 90 days if they ask for it. Be sure to ask Immigration on arrival for the length of your intended stay. Find out more.
