We have been chilling out in Grenada since the
middle of January generally nesting and trying to get the autopilot sorted out .
A new course computer has crawled its way here via Florida and Memphis !
If it now works we will leave tomorrow for
Margarita via the Islas Testigos. Having spent so long here we are missing out
on Tobago (which is upwind and current ) and Trinidad.
The most exciting event was crap dinghy making a
bid for freedom off the south coast of Grenada...I was just relieved that K had
tied it on ! This is such a small community that it was returned within 3 hours
The D ring had pulled off so it wasn't Keith's fault. It was picked up by a
tripper catamaran and instantly recognised by an engineer working on our boat
out for a birthday party!
Grenada has wonderful beaches ,food and friendly
people but I quite fancy seeing somewhere new.
Just hope we avoid any pirates
