365 days I crewed on sailboats from San Diego, USA all the way down to Panama, stopping in Mexico and Costa Rica. After Panama crossing the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand stopping at islands like the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, Tonga and Fiji
45 days I traveled through New Zealand from the Northernmost point to the Southernmost point, then
100 days I traveled by motorbike through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, then
365 days I traveled in my self-built campervan from Kyrgyzstan to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, then
365 days I traveled with this van through Iran and Pakistan, then
180 days I built an off-grid log cabin in the woods in Spain, then
180 days I restored an old sailboat in Guatemala, then
365 days I traveled with this sailboat from Guatemala to Honduras, Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Grenada and more islands in the East Caribbean
Currently I am #sailing, we're in the #carriacou doing #hurricaneberyl

Huub - you embody a tremendous amount of heart and positivity which would be a welcome gift for those who’ve lost everything. Not to tell you what to do, but your presence brightens up a lot of days and I’m sure the residents there could use it. Be well 🙏

Been through several Hurricanes in St Croix and in The States , worse problem is the pain and work remain long after the News crews and Volunteers leave. It takes years to recover. Green lush islands are turned brown. We wish You well. You will make it.
-
You can really feel Huub's and Danny's empathy to the devastation and sorrow for the people's loss .
-
Thank you for sharing! Hope it gets to the right people who can make a real difference!
-
Just so glad that you two are safe. I ❤ your videos. Looking forward every Sunday for your video. Safe sailing to you two.
-
Thank you for this. I could even see my boat, Rocinante, that survived in the mangroves, brought out by friends and is on a mooring not far from the small haul out. I have lent her to a Scottish couple I have never met whose boat fell over in that small yard. I am on Vancouver Island,until November. I have kept her on my favourite island of Carriacou for 20 years. I know that island intimately. It’s devastating, my heart breaks. Rocinante is visible at 7:08 just above the bow of the beached trawler.

Hai Huub and Daniela, impressive images. I live on Bonaire myself. Beryl passed there at a safe distance. Your video makes me realize once again what we were spared and how lucky we were here. That will make you quiet for a moment.
-
Thank you Huub & Danielle for sharing this video. I have not seen anything else posted on the aftermath of the hurricane and how the locals are dealing with their loss of homes and business and everything. It's sad to see so much destruction. Bless you both and everyone on the islands that were damaged. 🌴⛵🐬
-
Yep, I don't want to live through too many hurricanes anymore. Carriacou was changed from a green island to a brown island in a day.
-
Rinse and repeat. See ya next year.
-
So sad, but a great update thanks for sharing, I'm a part time cruiser, my boat on the hard in antigua for the hurricane season, fingers crossed 🤞, please stay safe and hopefully we can meet up in the Caribbean soon love your adventures again stay safe
-
Thanks for the video. Heartbreaking. I was there on lagoon 42 Bluevana just a week before the storm. We were moving the boat to Trinidad. Tyrell bay was pretty full of boats at the time. The devastation is heart breaking.
-
wow. what a terrible mess, Thanks for posting this. I am so glad you were able to get south in time to avoid this storm.
-
Hello we are SV Isla Rose and just are watching your video and you have a very good shot of our boat thank you for sharing.
-
Don't forget stuff can be fixed , as long as people are OK. And they haven't run out of cigarettes.
-
Heart breaking 😢
-
I have been cruising for 40 years, over 206,000 miles. I have never stayed in the storm areas in storm season. It's just not necessary. A few days sail away is safety.
-
Wow. I knew it was bad but it's way worse than I thought. The storm surge with the wind are next level. Many of the boats were well prepared and still got wrecked. Poor island. Good to see that essentials are being seen to by the local authorities and private businesses.
-
Good sharing, yes sad, there is virtually nothing untouched🤔. God Bless with prayers, hugs&Love for all🙏🏻⛵🐬

Those 150 mph winds can be quite devastating. I saw the aftermath of hurricane Michael firsthand.
