We’ve been in Grenada for over 10 days already, at this rate, the 2 months hiding from hurricanes will be gone in a blink! We have met a few people, done a few jobs on Mr X, and even been on our first hash. That was great fun, it won’t be the last!

The rainy season is definitely upon us…
Prickly Bay
It actually looks this way for real, don’t think I have ever seen such atmospheric skies and sea.
We know the storm is coming, we are as prepared as can be, all we have to do is wait and wait and wait.
Tyrell Bay
Another special place, turquoise water so clear you can see the bottom. The island is only small with only a few villages, not many roads, and very few people, especially now that the season is over. Planned to stay for at least 5 days, but the weather decides otherwise.

And there it is…It started as a tropical wave rapidly developing into tropical storm. We have 2 days to get out of its way so tomorrow we will be heading to the marina in Port Louis, Grenada. Not quite keen to be at anchor for this!
Love Union. Can’t get enough of it. This definitely is one of the prettiest in the Caribbean. Chatham bay and Clifton are not to be missed, but I am glad that we had the chance to explore the hills.
We stopped in Bequia in January for a day only and we felt that there was much more to explore in this lovely island. So we are back for a few days and intend to see every corner. The weather is not so great but leaden grey skies do make for very dramatic pictures. Bequia has a different feel from any of the other island and after all these talk of whaling, I really hope I will see a whale in these waters!
No time to stop in St Lucia, we are picking up the wind generator’s controller from a fellow sailor, installing it and then carrying on down south. We really want to be out of the hurricane belt soonish and the weather has steadily been getting worse. Same for St Vincent, a quick stop in Cumberland Bay for a night before we sail to Bequia where we are hopping to spend a few days exploring.
Just outside
the bay of Le Marin, facing the Diamond Rock on the east and St Lucia to the south, a sleepy little village with all the charm of the French Antilles. We spent 5 days at anchor, escaping to the shore to explore the many miles of walks along the bottom edge of Martinique.
Truly beautiful scenery…
We love Ste Anne in Martinique, actually we love all of Martinique!
