General note on Pets in the Caribbean

People throughout the Caribbean use poisons for everything from crabs to nuisance dogs. These are deadly to pets, and quite a few pet owners have lost their companions to poison while walking them ashore. The poisons are attractive to dogs so keep your dog on a leash and watch what it is up to. A muzzle may help but make sure your dog can still pant to stay cool. If your doge gets poisoned, immediate ingestion of a strong sugar/water solution may help until you get to the vet.

Updates to the 16th (2020-2021) edition:

Guadeloupe, Deshaies

If you would like to visit the Botanical Gardens call them at 0590 28 43 02 for a ride from the anchorage. Please do not ask Le Pelican to call them for you, as we suggest in the 2020-2021 edition of the guide.  

Anguilla

Savannah Gallery has moved to Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel. 

Antigua

Freeman Bay – Uncharted underwater hazard at 17° 00.128’ N 061° 45.638′ W. The object appears to be a steel pile from a construction project, is about 0.4m in diameter, and lies only 0.5m under the surface. Bill Aylward, the kind reader who sent in this info, fixed a temporary marker to it in Jan 2022.
