Arrived in Grenada

We have spent the last several days in Chatham Bay (Union Island) with Kristen and Terry from 'Silk Pajamas'. The first couple of days were slow with the remnants of the stomach flu. After a full 5 days for me and 4 for Laurie, we were up and at 'em again! Kristen and I snorkeled all along the coral along the beach and saw many varieties of fish and in great numbers. We were pleased to see a couple of Queen Angel fish as well as a couple of French Angels. The 4 of us did a major uphill hike yesterday and ended up at Seikie and Vanessa's beach bar for their happy hour where you can get great rum punch for 5 EC (approx 2 CAD). We said our goodbyes to these dear friends and promised to come back to see them next season when we spend more time in the southern islands.

This morning we said goodbye to Kristen and Terry and left Chatham Bay and our way over to Clifton on the other side of the island where we checked out of customs and picked up a few groceries. The home made bread there is to die for! We had a short sail over to Grenada's little northern island of Carricou where Laurie is in Hillsbourough clearing in to Customs and Immigration. I'm sitting on the boat pulling a small wifi signal out of who knows where and decided to update you all!

When Laurie gets back, we'll up anchor and head for Sandy Island where we'll enjoy a bit of snorkeling this afternoon. Tomorrow, we'll head in to Paradise Beach to see our old friend Curtis from his beach bar restaurant called 'off da hook'. He'll cook us up a pizza and sell us frosty beers! It's the same place where we took our Christmas pictures a couple of years ago. Simply a beautiful beach with real wiggle your toes in the sand type of setting. Curtis takes forever to make the lunch, but we have the time!

We'll head for the southern part of Grenada in a couple of days where we'll watch the weather and head for Trinidad.

All for now,

Dawn
