True Blue Bay to Le Phare Bleu Bay , Grenada

12:00N 61:43W Had breakfast prepared by Roger on deck. The boiled eggs and toast

were done to perfection.

Watched the fleet of Horizon yachts chartered by a group of Dutch yachtsmen

prepare to and ultimately leave for the Southern Grenada Regatta down at St Georges.

Learnt that the part from Martinique not now due here until Tuesday. Plan is to

leave here and go around to Le Phare Bleu a little further up the coast for a couple of

days.

16.30 Departed True Blue for Le Phare Bleu some 2.87 nm to the East. Once out

of the Bay we were punching into a strong Easterly wind and equally strong current

that quickly slowed us to a S.O.G. of just 2.5 to 3 knots. On arrival at Le Phare Bleu

we were offered an alongside berth on the outer pontoon which we were soon secured

alongside, Roger having ably passed the bow and stern lines to the marina attendant.

18.30 FWE

After tidying up we went for supper in the Pool Bar, A good day.
