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
