September 9, 2017 - TradeWinds Update from their Facebook page:
HURRICANE IRMA
"Dear Everyone,
As you are most probably aware St. Martin/Sint Maarten and The British Virgin Islands both got a direct hit from Hurricane Irma, the most powerful hurricane ever to form in the Atlantic Ocean. It has devastated those islands and the destruction is catastrophic. We are working diligently to secure and evacuate all TradeWinds staff and guests in the fastest and best possible way. This is difficult as both seaports and airports are closed for civilian use, compounded by the lack of communication as all systems are down.
We will get back to you with further information as soon as possible. For now all charters in the BVI's and St. Martin are cancelled for the month of September 2017. At all other TradeWinds bases charters will be going out as scheduled.
For those booked in October onwards stand by, we are working to bring you positive news."
