Great sail round to Hillsborough to clear customs, left a big catamaran standing. Nearly had a big problem with customs as we had no entry papers into Grenada for the boat but were able to sort everything out while Robbie played cricket with the locals on the beach using driftwood. The light was quite special, Marina got some good photos.

 

Sailed on to Petit Martinique, arrived too late for fuel and also discovered the engine wouldn’t go into reverse, luckily without any damage to the boat as I had room to turn. Sailed over to Clifton on Union Island where we anchored and tried to clear in at the airport which was a five minute walk from the dinghy jetty, but had to return in the morning. 18 miles
