The Culps of the Caribbean

Unsolved Mystery of the Ghost Ship Facts: The sailboat was last tracked to Costa Teguise, Spain on February 26, 2018, per Marinetraffic.com. The deceased captain washed ashore in Portugal in March 2018, per his obituary.  https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/may/09/rob-mitchell-obituary The sailboat is beached on rocks on the coastline of the Caribbean island of Nevis; observed on January 2019 and remains on Nevis today [May 2019]. Distance between Costa Teguise and Nevis is 3,200 miles (as the crow flies). Hurricanes Florence and Helene crossed the Atlantic directly between Spain and Nevis in Aug/Sept 2018.

Clear water, a shipwreck, and theme music from the 60's. It was a great day.

With no plans on my calendar today I ventured out to explore the neighborhood. This cow is chained up for grazing so that it doesn't wander off. As you can see it can easily get into the road.  This is a heavily traveled main road around the island. The village of Lodge is located in a gaught (gut) which is a steep valley that handles run off water from the mountain to the ocean.  My apartment is at the top of this valley in the village of Molineaux about a 1/4 mile away. Just up the street is what appears to be an old abandoned church.  It's not.  It is just shuttered during the times it's not in use. In the distance on the north end of the island you can see the island of Eustacius. Closer up.  The island of Eustacius has a massive white cliff side.  From the air you can see a large number of fuel tanks and many oil tankers waiting to transfer fuel for this end of the Caribbean.
