  • April 27th, 2024, Grenada to Canada

    Hot, sunny, not enough time to take pictures. Despite exhaustion I didn’t sleep that well, turns out Christy didn’t either. Still that stationery full bed with clean sheets felt pretty good. I make some (pretty lousy) coffee and we clean up all our excess food. Christy has planned our provisioning down to the peanut –…

  • April 26th, 2024, Woburn Bay, Grenada

    Hot, sunny, some merciful clouds in the late morning. Both Christy and I are up and working at the crack of dawn. We have a lot to do before we haul out at 1 pm today. First up is the engine off the dinghy. This 20 hp Honda is a bit of a beast but…

  • April 25th, 2024, Woburn Bay, Grenada

    Sunny, hot. Getting down to crunch time. We haul out at 1:00 pm tomorrow so lots to do before that. We are going to park overnight on the docks at Clarke’s (one night included in haulout/launch) and there is even work to do getting ready for that. Rental car is coming at 1 pm so…

  • April 24th, 2024, Woburn Bay, Grenada

    Hot, sunny. I’ve had enough of this pain in my foot and no longer think it is related to gout. Gout is nothing like this and usually clears up in a few days of being a good boy. I have been a friggin’ angel and it is only getting worse. We’re renting a car tomorrow…

  • April 23rd, 2024, Woburn Bay, Grenada

    Hot, sunny. I say hot and sunny every day and it is, but more often than not rain falls in short spurts some time during the day so you have to be careful with that. Also get some great cloud formations, this one in the evening. Every day this week is filled with work getting…

  • April 22nd, 2024, Prickly Bay to Woburn Bay, Grenada

    Hot, sunny. We’re up early and at the Budget Marina dinghy dock by 7:30 am. We want to hit the stores when they open at 8:00 am. Turns out no way I can make the walk so Christy goes by herself with the list. I sit by Budget and research stuff like how to stow…

  • April 21st, 2024 Prickly Bay, Grenada

    Slightly overcast which is a blessing. We’re not that crazy about Prickly Bay. Pros: Close to Budget Marine, Ace Hardware, RAM grocery, other restaurants, all walkable. The Prickly Bay Marina is pretty nice, great bar and restaurant. The public beach is good for swimming. Cons: We’re packed like sardines in here on the moorings. Anchorages…

  • April 20th, 2024 Carriacou to Prickly Bay

    Hot, sunny, very little wind We’ve reserved a mooring ball in Prickly Bay for Saturday and Sunday night. We’re hoping to make it there before 2 pm so we can go to Budget Marine and Ace Hardware which are not too far away. (Budget is on the bay itself). Only problem is there is no…

  • April 19th, 2024 – Mayreau to Union to Carriacou

    Hot sunny, a little overcast with a few drops of rain at noon but that’s it. Now this is a day to remember. One of those “OK, I have had enough learning for today” days. After driving around in the dinghy to drain it we’re off pretty early as we have a ways to go…

  • April 18th, 2024 Mayreau

    Hot, sunny Today we do a lot of work on ‘puters as Christy turns on her Bell SIM card. Not much point in renewing SVG FLOW SIM for one week when we only have one day left here. She will use hers today, I’ll use mine tomorrow. But there is only one thing to report…
