We are tucked up now in the Port Louis Marina, St George for the next few nights before moving around to the south coast and a haul ashore for RT’s summer break. We have a few jobs to do on her, nothing serious just the usual boring routine jobs like sorting out the varnish, cleaning and painting her bottom and servicing the diesel.

 

We hear that the weather is unseasonally awful back home so accept our commiserations. We have to take some stick here from time to time too. Its trying to rain but it tea and biscuits on deck at the moment.

 

Both Norm and I thought our last passage from Puerto Rico to Grenada was a fitting end to our year’s sailing. A committing, stressful at times passage but with a thoroughly satisfying outcome.

 

We are closing down the blog now and hope that you have enjoyed following the Travels of Running Tide.  We will be back when RT gets itchy feet again.

 

A few final photos from our last passage.

 

View of our Chart Plotter - Trying to hold a course for Grenada but being swept away, not going too fast either as we stem the flow which is moving from right to left. A back eddy from Grenada has allowed us to improve our heading from 180 to 138 temporarily

 

Ahhhh
