small incident with Anne and a poisonous manchineel tree! However,
thankfully all was well and we didn't have to do an emergency dash to A
& E!!
So the following day we left the island of Carriacou
bound for St George's.
We had a boisterous sail down to the bottom end of
Grenada in strong NE winds.
Approaching St Georges Grenada.
 Once we were in the harbour it was a really lovely place
which we thoroughly enjoyed.
This is a shot of the northern end of the harbour called
The Carenage surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants
 Looking at the old fort (which we didn't get chance to
go round) across the Carenage, with the government buildings on the
quay.
 The next day we walked around the market which was
interesting, while Anne went off into the mountains to walk and visit a
waterfall.
 We moored (for free as it turned out!!)at
the lovely Grenada Yacht Club and were able to use the club and all
the facilities.
 In the evening we visited an Austrian restaurant on the
waterfront and then wound up in a bar where they were doing karaoke! The
participation was enthusiastic by the Chiscos crew!!!
 Some of the singers were in need of a little tuition and
Carrie caught the skipper and the first mate
laughing uncontrollably at some of the renditions!!!
 As we left the next day, I did wonder if we had been
followed by a Saga enthusiast!!
