According to the newspaper article, countries such as St. Lucia are using a tracking app, I could not find evidence of that. Grenada does use a tracking app at no cost, however if you are an iphone user, you are exempt from the tracking requirement. I did not look at the requirements Jamacia or Turks and Caicos.

We were hoping to sail to the BVIs and spend a month or so there, but we most likely sail on by.

Haven't seen the details of what is agreed to when agreeing to use the app but in one of the press conferences, one of the Ministers indicated the app would store data until the user connects to wifi. This means data roaming would not be required but you might have to get connected to wifi a couple of times a day. If you have your phone in airplane mode, the gps is still active and can store location data. Many apps most people have already do this.
