St.Lucia Update

Rain, Rain, Rain

Wednesday 22nd December

Whilst the rest of the world is struggling with snow, we are experiencing a lot of rain here in St Lucia.

There is a trough passing just west of Grenada and we are getting the follow on rain which this morning has been very heavy, causing flooding in many places. I have been told that this will stop late tonight, lets hope so, as we do not want any more landslides or road closures.

I went on a boat trip down to Soufriere on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised to see that things are now back to normal, they even have regular water which is more than can be said for Marigot, water here is still very intermittent in supply and is causing some problems. Wasco have told me that it is because they have a problem with one of the pumps at Bexon and this is being worked on, however this has been the problem for at least two weeks now so it is still the case of collecting rainwater ( of which currently there is plenty) and showers under the broken pipe.

Not much else to report at this time so I will end by saying a Happy Christmas to all.
