Saturday 28th December 11:59.857 N  61:45.569 W  Distance travelled 146 miles.

Gabby and Brendan returned to the UK on the 22nd and Johnnie Hegarty arrived on the same plane to cruise with us until the 9th of January. At midday on the 23rd we departed Rodney Bay for a passage to St Georges Grenada for Christmas and arrived at Port Louis Marina at 13.00 on the 24th. Excellent facilities, developed by Camper and Nicholsons, includes a private beach where Johnnie and Neil had their first Christmas Day swim. Anne used always go water skiing with her father on Christmas Day in Kerry. We had a lovely traditional three course Christmas dinner aboard, roast turkey with bread and cranberry sauces and stuffing beautifully prepared by Anne.

We spent 3 days at St. Georges, visited the town and spent an afternoon at Grand Anse. We are now in Prickley Bay and are as far south as we plan to go, just 75 miles from Venezuela.
