The Eastern Caribbean is a seismically active area with hundreds of earthquakes occurring in and around the region each year. So here we are in Port Louis Marina, Grenada…when…an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.7 rocked sections of Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada this morning.
The Earthquake Unit at the University of the West Indies (UWI), St Augustine campus reports that the epicentre of the quake, with a depth of 85 kilometres, was located 5 kilometres South South west of Irapa, Venezuela. So far, there have been no reports of damage or injuries.
You will be happy to know that SV Enterprise and the crew slept right through and are totally oblivious until they read the news in the afternoon – when they eventually awoke…

That’s because of the rum I suspect. Don’t drink too much of it. My worst hangover ever was on dark rum. Forty years ago but I still recollect it.
The gentle rocking of you and the crew must have kept you relaxed.The boat moving probably helped too.
