Christy and Perry Saving the World

Today we’re going to try and fix our poor dinghy. The bumper has been hanging off of it the whole time and Christy wants to paint it. After breakfast we dinghy over to the beach, find a bit of shade and begin the process. We clean the dinghy and bumper with MKE and scrape as…

We’re up early as things to do before the short ride over to Union and then on to Mayreau for the night. I drop Christy off at the grocery store in Tyrell Bay then go on to Budget. I saw an anchor there yesterday that is the right size and pretty affordable so we decided…

Turns out Manny didn’t make it into Carriacou last night but is arriving on the ferry this morning. Says to call him after lunch. So we go snorkeling at Sandy Island. On the beach we run into George and Susan who we met at the restaurant last night. They’re anchored here altho we can’t figure…

A little rocky at Paradise Beach but we still pretty good. Anything is better than the dock at Secret Harbour. We’ve connected with Carriacou Marine about our keel issue and they say they don’t do that kind of work but Manny does. Well that’s the guy recommended by Andre’s friend. I call him, he says…

We’re up and at it early, we’re leaving the harbour under near-perfect conditions by 8 am. Goodbye Woburn, Mt. Hartman and Grenada for a while. Boy, does it feel good to be out on the sea again. Milu’s engine is running well, the sails are working and the winds are favourable. We’re both really enjoying…

I convinced Christy that we should just get the boat on the water and start sailing. Andre, a nice French-Canadian in the bay told me that he knew of a guy who had the same problem as us and had it fixed in Carriacou after Trinidad botched the job. So let’s go there and see…

Today is Walking Club Day but we’re not going as stuff to do here. Plus I’ve volunteered to help Donita move her friend Dave’s boat from anchor out in the bay to the pier near us. At 7:30 am I meet Donita and her friend Jackie who are both cacklers and we have a few…

Don’t have to type February anymore and, in Canada, the weather is showing signs of warming. This is a bit of a big day. We’re going to move Milu onto the dock after doing a bit of a sea trial. The sails are up and working, the motor is maintained and seems to be purring,…

Friday is Yoga Day so we’re up with the gang at at the dock by 7:45 am for the walk to Grand Anse. I swim while the girls do yoga but this time I know to keep access to our bag so I don’t have to stand around in my tri shorts until the girls…

Today I am tackling a job I’ve wanted to do for a while – changing the fuel filters and pump impellor. The pump impellor is a beast due to it’s location – under the sink and behind a bunch of wires and pipes. I’ve never done one before but eventually get it done. Next on…
