  • Jan 6, 2024 Petite Martinique

    Another beautiful day, a Saturday. That is going to be an important factor in the mood of some people. As usual, Christy and I are up and moving before the kids arise. We head out for the one hour motor sail to Union Island where we will check in to St. Vincent and the Grenadines…

  • Jan 11 to 17th, 2024, Grenada

    I haven’t mentioned that I left Canada with a slight cold. It waxed and waned while we were sailing and every day I expected it to go away. But it didn’t. From this day on it gradually gets worse. On some mornings I wake up feeling cured, but by 10 or 11 am I’m almost…

  • Jan 10, 2024, St. Georges, Grenada

    Our last day on the island as a family. Today the kids are flying home, we’re staying for another week boat shopping. We have to check out by 11. So we do. Then take a cab to the airport where we pick up the rental car Mom and I have for the next week. Driving…

  • Jan 8, 2024 Carriacou to Grand Mal Bay

    This is our last full day on the boat together, tho most of it will be spent doing the sail from Carriacou down to Moliniere Point. Audrey didn’t get to see the underwater sculptures there so we will stop and anchor nearby so we’re close to Port Louis in the morning. We start off sailing…

  • Jan 7, 2024 PM to Tobago Cays to Carriacou

    Ben and Audrey are still a bit miffed at us for not giving them the promised turtle show so I have an idea. I call our friend over there, Captain Neil and ask him if we run any risk dropping anchor, swimming with the turtles, then leaving even though we haven’t checked into the country…

  • Jan 5, 2024 – Carriacou, Grenada

    You may have noticed not too many pictures of Christy yet on this trip. Might as well fess up now. In three days from now I will lose my phone and all the pictures that were on it. Stupid bass Todd. So everything here is from Christy and the kids. Another beautiful day – kids…

  • Jan 3, 2024 – Toronto to St. Georges, Grenada

    Christy and I drove to Toronto yesterday, the three of us are stayed at the condo last night. Poor Ben had to take the sacrifice and sleep on a blow up mattress in the living room. Except the mattress didn’t hold air. Reminds me of fall 2022. We’re off to the airport in Ben’s car…

  • Jan 4, 2024 Grenada

    We’re up and about and checked out with lots of time to spare. We had tried for a quick checkout so we could get to Carriacou today but that couldn’t be done so we’ll just have to grin and bear it. Cabby waits for us at Spice Island Mall but not too happy about the…
