Apologies for the interruption in service!
 
We left Trinidad at 4.30am and headed North to Grenada. The Northern Equatorial Current crosses the track and the swirls and eddies push the boat West and East and put strange patterns on the surface of the sea. Eighty miles is a long first passage of the season but not too many problems surfaced and we arrived in Prickly Bay about 1900 hours and anchored in the dark.
 
The morning saw Customs and Immigration dealt with then the grime of Chaguaramas was scrubbed from the newly painted waterline! It was good to be back in clean clear water again! Then round to anchor off Calvigny Island again for the night before up to Clarkes Court Bay Marina to collect Dave and Mary Waltho from the airport. Here was an excuse to be on holiday! Whisper Cove Marina for lunch ! ( fish in Aspic )
