Leeward Antilles

From CrisisWiki

Introduction

The Leeward Antilles are a chain of islands in the Caribbean – specifically, the southerly islands of the Lesser Antilles (and, in turn, the Antilles and the West Indies) along the southeastern fringe of the Caribbean Sea, just north of the Venezuelan coast of the South American mainland. The Leeward Antilles, while among the Lesser Antilles, are not to be confused with the Leeward Islands (also of the Lesser Antilles) to the northeast. Wikipedia:Leeward Antilles

Definitions: Windward - the direction from which the wind is coming. Leeward - the direction in which the wind is blowing
