Now at 19:00 we're still drinking. Sitting in the open air Prickly Bay Marina bar listening to a brilliant steel pan band. We won't be moving more than a half nautical mile between bays for the next month or so. A welcome change from the past months. Since March we've sailed over 600 nm from Puerto Rico right down through the Caribbean and we're glad to be putting our feet up and staying in one place for a while. That's the way everyone feels when they arrive here for the summer. Though I will be researching that ever elusive trip to Cuba.
We've had terrific weather since St Lucia (trying to forget the northern passages). Constantly good winds and easy passages. We got so lazy that we stopped putting the main sail up. Just the headsail partly unfurled and we still cruised along at over 7 knots. Most of the photos here are at Carriacou, the island just north of Grenada. A real Caribbean gem. So glad to be down south again, though sailing the Virgin Islands will always be our favourite. I agree with Glenys, wish we could move the islands around and squish our favourites together.
