Cumberland Bay
Sulayacht

A nice three days moving up the coast of Grenada, from Halifax, where we
heard from Sunshine III, who have had to return to base with mast strut and
rigging problems, we hope they can get it all sorted and manage to get some
sailing in this season. Maris might recognise the picture from Paradise
Beach.
On to Hillsborough where we Check out of Grenada and head to Union
Island to check in, from Frigate Bay we have a days sail to St Vincent and
Cumberland Bay where we are met by Carlos, who is the contact for the aid to the
local communities, introduced to us by Graham & Joan from Karma, who have
had to leave before we could get here. So we drop anchor and tie
stern on to a tree on the beach, prizes for guessing it was not a fishing line
we have mounted on the stern... I have to allow Chris’s idea was a good
one, and he did well to ignore the face I pulled in Budget Marine when he asked
if we could have the reel if we bought the end of the rope... Then
we begin to bring on deck the baggage to go ashore..
And after Chris fixed the propeller on Carlos’s outboard motor, which took a bit
longer than anticipated, it got dark, we had a lovely dinner with Mommy Elma and
then off to an early start on our way to St Martin where we are headed to
collect a new part to repair the water maker which has sprung a leak.x
