CaribbeanComeback

We went to the BVI to report on the recovery effort from hurricane Irma

While cruising through the BVIs, the Power & Motoryacht team saw damage, destruction, and the one thing stronger than a category 5 hurricane: the will of the people bringing it back to life.

When you first arrive in the BVIs you can’t help but see the devastation left in Irma’s wake. Toppled boats. Roofless homes. But look a little closer and you see what has always made the BVIs special: natural beauty and a spirit that can’t be broken. #CaribbeanComeback

Daniel Harding

Editor-in-Chief of Power & Motoryacht
One of the lucky ones who was born into boating, Dan grew up cruising aboard his family’s 33 Egg Harbor. Marinas and boatyards served as summer school and the foundation for a career on the water. When not chasing stories for Power & Motoryacht magazine he can be found cruising Long Island Sound with his wife, sons, and faithful (furry) first mate Salty.
