The fog freezes usually to the windward side of tree branches, wires, or any other solid objects.

We have a common currency for eight of the eastern Caribbean countries, called the Windward and the Leeward Islands.

The island of Cuba lies to the northwest across the Windward Passage to the southwest lies Jamaica, separated by the Jamaica Channel.

Members of the Special Committee join me in expressing our gratitude for the most gracious hospitality extended to us since our arrival in this most picturesque part of the beautiful Windward Islands.

On behalf of the government and people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, I wish to extend a warm welcome to the beautiful island of Canouan, one of the lovely jewels of our multi island country here in the Windward Islands.

My own country of Saint Lucia, as a neighbouring Windward Island State, takes special pride in the fact that Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has become the most recent of our small island countries to offer itself as the venue for these proceedings.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is an island country in the Lesser Antilles Island arc, in the southern portion of the Windward Islands, which lie at the southern end of the eastern border of the Caribbean Sea where the latter meets the Atlantic Ocean.
