Éowyn is presently at Le
Phare Bleu Marina, Grenada.
Sorry about the long gap
between blogs - just me being lazy!
We left St Lucia, carefully
timing of our arrival at Bequia to avoid the outrageous overtime charges at SVG
Customs & Immigration. In Bequia we were kindly invited to a barbeque aboard
Bayzano by Rob & Rhian. We had a great evening. Bayzano's cockpit is
fantastic for entertaining. Sadly we were on the move again before we could
reciprocate the invitation.
On to the Tobago cays, we
spoke to Lee & Kirsty on JonJon and diverted to Union Island to have
sundowners at Happy Island. This reef bar was entirely made my hand by rasta
Janty, mainly from conch shells. After 2 days at Union we sailed back to the
Cays, Lee having arranged a great beach barbeque by Romeo a local boat
boy.
Off again to Grenada, clearing
in at Port Louis, yet again avoiding overtime fees (much more reasonable here).
The anchorage here was rolly so we moved to Prickly Bay where things were a bit
more settled.
We then started 2 weeks of
great diving with Scubatech, seeing amongst other things, Eagle Rays, Seahorses,
Sharks and rarest of all, a Frogfish! we also managed 3 dives on the Bianca C,
an enormous wreck of a cruise ship (Costa Line - who else!).
Diving over we are now in Le
Phare Bleu in our usual routine of preparing for haulout tomorrow.
We stay at La Sagesse for a
few days and fly home on Sunday, abandoning Eowyn for 6
months.
