Hurricane season would be coming soon, but with coronavirus sweeping through the USA and Florida in particular, sailors found themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. They would have to look elsewhere for shelter and so many-headed further south than usual, away from the hurricane zone and towards Grenada, 458 nautical miles off the coast of Venezuela.
