Hurricane Ivan’s Path
On September 7, 2004 Hurricane Ivan slammed into Grenada
causing several deaths, damaging 90% of the island’s housing, and destroying an
untold number of boats.

missing its roof
Today most of the scars have healed. There are still some missing roofs and
structures laying in ruin, but most of the sunken boats have been removed and
the marinas reconstructed.

Prickly Bay Marina
facilitated a special showing of the Lunn family’s home movies of their
experiences during Hurricane Ivan. We
were treated to the long version including footage of Cory’s wakeboarding before
and after the hurricane. During the
hurricane their boat, Te Natura, was
struck by another boat and shipwrecked.
While the experience was extremely distressing to the Lunn family, they
were lucky. They were able to salvage
their boat and continue sailing.
