We are back in gorgeous Grenada and enjoying it as much as the first
time! It seems to have fully recovered from the ravages of Hurricane's
Ivan and Emily in 2004 and 2005. It is such a friendly island and we are
having a great time having met lots of cruisers and caught up with some old
friends from last time who live on the island. Here are some photos of
what we have been up to, hope you enjoy them. We plan to head on towards
Bonaire in the next few weeks but I may have to physically drag Lucy away from
here just the same as I had to last time.
Jamie looking out over Tobago
Cays.
 David and Carol's guest cottage..... does anyone need
a break in Grenada?
 Lucy walking on Grand Anse
Beach.......
 ......... with Jamie!!
 Michael and Donna fitting new cockpit awnings to keep
the wet season out.
 Dinner in a house! Bret and Fran who we met here
in Grenada 4 years ago
have also just arrived back and have moved ashore for a while.
 Friday night is "Fish Fry" night in Gouyave, Grenada's
"fishing capital".
A couple of streets are closed off
and stalls serve fantastic fish specialties
(and rum!)
along with of course the inevitable ear-splitting
reggae.
 We saw this goat making his way home after the Fish
Fry!
 We were invited to an "Oil Down" in a local
village. This involves cooking a spectacular amount
of food in a single huge pot.
The guy below is in the process of
grating 16 coconuts
to go into the pot.
 Tasting time!
 A photo for Naunton! Lucy with a bottle of one
of the spectacularly powerful rums
brewed on the
island. We are not entirely sure this stuff is really made for
drinking!
 Jamie checking that supper is coming along
nicely.
 Two happy bar ladies.
 Max from Blue Beyond making yet more friends amongst
the Granadians.
