On 12th December at 0345 we upped anchor and set sail for Grenada. the wind was mainly 15 knots from the SE, but after a few hours, the moderate sea became somewhat rougher and Chris succumbed to the ailment of the deep. We arrived in Prickly Bay at dusk to be met by our crew, Becky and Richard. After a couple of days reducing the "to do" list, we again set sail, this time for Bequia. we have modified our plans and will now go to Bequia first to try to meet Leon Schultz finishing his transatlantic on "Regina" and to modify the wind angle to St Kitts. In Prickly Bay, we again met the crews of "Oriole" and "Callisto" who were busy trying to repair John's sophisticated Yamaha Malta outboard.
 
We were delighted in Grenada to track down Devon Philip of Cherry Hill and Jocelyn Stewart of Grand Anse Valley, both of whom had been made homeless by "Ivan" in September 2004. I am pleased to report that both now have a roof over their heads and Jocelyn is looking forward to getting into her rebuilt home before Christmas.
 
After Prickly Bay, we stopped overnight in Chatham Bay and had a great lobster barbeque from "Shark Attack"
 
The winds were still NW and the seas moderate to rough, so we set off to Bequia. Our plans are now a little changed. Having failed to rendezvous with the Schultz family on "Regina" (www.reginasailing.com) we will now sail to St Kitts on Monday 19th December - about 2+ days passage
