Mar 25 to Mar 29th, 2024 Woburn Bay, Grenada
Hot and sunny. We arrived! No troubles at the airport, in fact we arrive much earlier than we expected: we get our rental car, we go to see our new purchase. Of course the battery installation is not complete but Fabien is working on it and has the house batteries installed so at least we…
