We have escaped the cold weather in the UK and
are now back in Grenada. The weather here is hot and windy. We
arrived last Wednesday (20th) and had a wind generator in our hold
luggage. We decided we should declare it to customs and we were charged
duty at 5% as we did not have the correct form. If we had, the duty would
have been 2.5%
On Friday we took the boat to Spice Island
marina to have the stainless steel work done for the Wind generator to be
attached to; then back to Port Louis for the installation to be
completed.
 Wind Generator plus the Captain in the
background.
We have also had to replace the main halyard as
it was beginning to chafe and wear where it goes through the top of the mast
when the full sail is up. As we have never done this before we got some
help and everything went very smoothly.
We just need to do some further shopping then we
will leave tomorrow to head back up to St Lucia to meet up with Ian and Gerry on
“Spray” and have some sailing in company. |
