Prickly Bay, still Grenada



We spent a few evening with Alissa and then they departed for Trinidad. They plan to go up to Cuba, Jamacia and through the Panama and we plan to stay in Trinidad for the summer to find work so we may not see them for some time. Goodbye Guys… see you soon! Have a safe trip…Vita Multcar Baby!!

We met up with some other friends Curly Sue and Nick from Yacht Ayesha from England. They had been stuck in Antigua for four months waiting for a new mast to be delivered cos the poor buggers got de - masted on the Atlantic crossing 500 miles off shore. We went over with a bottle of rum and had some drinks aboard Ayesha where we compared whose boat was the best varnished. I think Quartermoon has won hands down in all fairness…. You guys had four months… we did ours in less than a week… and the outcome, well lets say our is still better!! Ha Ha! Nick cooked up a yummy curry and we all had a good evening. We took the camera with us to take some pics, but got a bit pissed and forgot to take any pics... it’s always so annoying when that happens...
Anyway… we are all alone again now… all our friends have departed, gone either up north or back home! Good luck with the crossing Boo! That’s great though cos it gives us time to work on the boat until our family come see us in a month. Can’t Wait!!! You know what it like when you have too much of a social life, nothing gets done no matter how much you promise yourself.



Anyway, we left the hot sticky horrible water anchorage in St Georges and we are now in Prickly Bay… where it is windy and the water is semi good - swimmable ( if that’s a word ) . At least we are not having to out the engine on every day to charge the batteries… now the wind charger can do its job.

The Beautiful beach next to where we are anchored!!



Our new Ensign… hand made by a cute little local man from St Georges.. Our old was looking so old and tatty. Sym was so proud of it; he kept staring at it for hours (weirdo) until I pointed out a couple of holes in it!! We had a bbq the night before and some of the flames had burnt small little holes in it. Sym was soo upset,
