Amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has dampened the spirit of many in the Caribbean, a 12-year-old Martinican boy living just a few hundred kilometres from the BVI has put a smile on many faces with his historic swim from St Lucia to Martinique earlier this month. Swimming prodigy Christophe Maleau became the youngest person to swim from St Lucia to his homeland, Martinique, completing the 40km swim in 13 hours, 50 minutes and 47 seconds.
