First mate here. We've had an interesting few weeks sailing in the Grenadines, but the weather conditions are still not great so we've gone quicker than expected. We stayed in Tyrell Bay, Carriacou for a week, but the last 2 nights were ridiculously rolly, and the last day I even refused to get into the dinghy as the swell was so big. We loved the island but had to move on. We sailed to Petite Martinique, having been told by Doyle's Guide that the fuel there was reliable. We tied up to the fuel dock, 5 minutes after they went to lunch, and despite having 3 mooring lines and 2 springs were crashing against the dock for an hour and a half, until they decided to come back. Consulting Doyle again, we found that it was an easy dock "in settled weather". We got our fuel and set off for Union Island, where we had trouble anchoring in the high winds. It wasn't anchoring itself that was the problem, but staying in the same position to get the anchor down, as the wind kept blowing us all over the place in the crowded anchorage. When we found ourselves anchored in the ferry channel we gave up and took a mooring buoy (against Doyle's advice). A local guy rented it to us and when we asked his name, said Skipper after a bit of thought. Oh dear, we thought, it's probably not his name or even his buoy to rent, but luckily all was well, the buoy held and Skipper was ok, getting us petrol for the dinghy (at an eye-watering price, we found out too late), and taking our rubbish.
