Leaving Grenada, 22 Years On
from Spelthy podcasts
This episode is a reflective return to Grenada, 22 years after Hurricane Ivan upended a family sailing life there. Rob revisits the places, people, and memories tied to Yacht Dolphins, from the frantic preparations for the storm in Old Harbour to the island’s recovery and rebuilding in the years since. As the boat sets off again, the episode traces a broader journey through the Windward Islands and back to the Grenadines, weaving together past and present: children growing up aboard, improvised shelter in a hurricane hole, the devastation that followed, and the resilience of Grenada and its sailors. It’s a personal maritime story about memory, loss, survival, and returning to a place that has changed while still carrying the marks of its history.
