We've been here in Grenada for two months. Another two and a half until the hurricane season is officially over and the five hundred odd yachts spread across the southern anchorages start heading north. We sure are enjoying ourselves. Getting used to spending day after day at anchor without moving. Brought the anchor up the other day and cleaned it off. It took two hours. Every single thing we do requires a dinghy trip - shopping, yoga (four times a week), weekly music jam sessions, noodling, happy hour. Absolutely everything and since it rains daily, we always get wet daily. Just a way of life. Here are some pics of the carnival and our home. Clearly we aren't roughing it:

We're settling into the hurricane season in Grenada. At anchor with about fifty other boats in one of Grenada's southern anchorages. It has taken some getting used to. It's not Europe where everyone hangs out in a marina for six months over winter, but we're getting into the swing of Caribbean cruising. Here everyone is at anchor and we take our ribs from bay to bay for social events. it's harder to get to know each other because nobody's on foot, but we're getting the hang of it. It's summer time so we're in the water daily and it rains a little almost daily (which I love). The real dampener is that we all tune into the hurricane warnings each morning and hold our breath waiting for the words "NOAA advise that there is no hurricane activity forecast for the next 5 days". Aaahhh, lets swim! Carnival next week. |
