Hi Everyone
Since Tuesday we have been busy bees throwing ourselves into life in the marina, making friends with other boats who have done or about to do similar routes to us.
We had a great day out in St Georges, such a beautiful city! If you walk up to the fort you have the most stunning panoramic views across the bay overlooking the bustling city and beautiful marina. We walked through the busy streets and the market, did a bit of shopping and then attempted to catch a bus home! So they say catch the number 2 bus to Grenville! …. Not so easy! We waited, we waited and then finally the number 2 bus to Grenville arrived, only to be told we weren’t allowed on! Humph!!! Probably not a good idea to try and catch a bus at rush hour! Finally a bus agreed to let us onboard! Lets just say we were happy to be alive when we reached our bus stop! The driving was interesting! But a fun experience all the same!
Wednesday, we took the marina’s hobie cat out for a bit of a play! And Stu tried to teach Laura how to dingy sail. I’m not sure he succeeded, but we had loads of fun sailing down wind, and around Calviginy Island which is an extremely luxurious private Island just over the water from where we are staying. We took our motor dingy for a trip around some of the bays to the south of Grenada, there we found some beautiful little spots! We even came across a boat that used to belong to the Sail Training project Stu and Alan sail with in the UK ‘Lily Maid’ (small world!)
Laura’s Uncle Mike and Jane put us in contact with a friend of theirs who lives out here, Jan has been brilliant. It is especially nice to get in a car with someone who drives more like people in the UK!! She has taken us to some great places such as a restaurant called ‘Umbrellas’ where her and her friends entertained us; and La sagesse a small cove with a lovely beach and restaurant. We were surprised to see cows being herded home across the beach and witnessed a fire baptis baptism.
Saturday evening We were entertained by the local chiropractor Doc Adams playing in a rock band, firing out lots of 60’s and 70’s classics. A fantastic night he was brilliant!!
Love to all at home,
