We have settled into our routine at the marina. Wake up, make coffee, catch up on CNN (yay internet), do our daily boat chores and hit the pool. Ah yes folks, a beautiful, fresh water, generally quiet swimming pool. We order our adult beverages from the conveniently located bar, and while we try to get …
Somewhere Over The Rainbow…Grenada
Port Louis, St. Georges, Grenada! We have arrived at our summer home. How weird it will be to be stationary for 5 months? We stop in the outer bay of St. Georges, to let down our dinghy. Since we need to dock stern to, the dinghy needs to be brought around to the side of …
A Skip, And A Jump To Grenada
Does anyone else hear Judy Garland singing? It's 0645, time to leave Carriacou, and we are sailing straight into a rainbow! If you look very closely at the picture, the shadow of an island at the base of the rainbow is Grenada. Our summer home Grenada is right at the end of the rainbow. There …

Leaving Bequia at 0815, the winds are 12-15 knots, on a reach making for great sailing. Our less than 30 mile trip to Mayreau is peaceful with sails up and happy smiling faces onboard. We arrive at Salt Whistle Bay at 1300 and are met by Ali in his boat. Ali guides us to the …
