Hurricane Ivan passed through the southern Caribbean in 2004 and devastated Grenada and also caused substantial damage in Trinidad and Tobago. Some of the boats damaged from this storm made their way to Chaguaramas to be repaired. Tucked away on Trinidad’s northwestern coast, seven miles off the Venezuelan coastline, is Chaguaramas. Situated inside Trinidad’s largest national park, Chaguaramas has a safe, quiet and peaceful luxury marina and yachting center outside the hurricane belt and protected by the lush mountains of the Northern Range. These boatyard businesses and services are purported to be the largest collection of marine repair and maintenance facilities in the Caribbean.
The following pictures are of a boat that survived the storm with substantial damage and made its way to Chaguaramas. The only reason this boat is still floating is that it is an aluminum hull.
Take a close look at the bent anchor on the bow roller.
