Two boats ran aground overnight

One at Corossol, on the beach; the other between Public and Corossol, on the rocks. Overnight from Sunday to Monday, two anchored sailboats ran aground on the coast. This was the result of severe weather conditions, including strong winds and heavy swells. The mooring lines on both vessels snapped, and they were swept away—one onto Corossol Beach, the other onto the rocks. The first vessel was successfully returned to the water on Monday morning. It has resumed its anchorage in Corossol Bay. The other sailboat remains wedged in the rocks at the headland between Public and Corossol. It appears that the occupants of both vessels were rescued and are unharmed.

The severe weather conditions this weekend caused several incidents. As is typical during periods of heavy rain, runoff and some erosion were observed on the island’s roads. No incidents were reported, apart from a few scooter accidents that appear to be minor.
