G’Day All.  We finally arrived in Barbados after the wind turned in our favour, otherwise it could have taken a lot longer.  Barbados was a pain to clear in but proved to be a great little island for many reasons.  She has more money than most and not that set up for cruisers as ourselves, but it was a great few days as we hired a car and took a look around and met some great people.  We also had another friend visit us for a week or so, Eleanor form New York formally of Dublin, and will be with us until St Lucia. 

On the 16^th we sailed for the Grenadines.  As usual the wind at first looked in our favour but then turned on us and we took a lot longer to get to our destination.  Our new quote should be.. ‘never in the right direction, always coming from the way we want to go…. @#%#@%. ‘  Anyway, after rocking and rolling for over a day, we made it into Clifton Harbour on Union Island just after midnight on the 18^th April.  Very excited about the Grenadines as we have been told many a tale by cruisers we have met that this is a must see area.  Snorkeling with turtles, amazing reefs, good fishing, kitesurfing…. Will we ever leave, but that’s a story for another time……. ;) 

Until then……….. Matt, Rohan and Eleanor….

PS…. Have finally sorted some photos which I will post now.  A mix of what we have been up to…. Enjoy…
