> We left Mustique having had a great time there, and had an overnight stop in Canouan but there wasn’t much there and the bay was very rolly, so we left early morning and headed back to the glorious Tobago Cays.
>
> We managed to get a buoy between the two islands courtesy of Captain Neil, so we’re close to the beaches and protected from any winds so had a great couple of nights sleep, after a few days of rocking and rolling throughout the night.
> We had the lobster bbq on the beach which was just as great as last time
> We had two nights here and enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. We snorkelled with the turtles again and this time saw a ray (have put the video on Facebook), and also some other rays just off the bbq beach.
> From here we popped into Saltwhistle Bay but the winds were up and it was very crowded so we headed round to the East of Union Island and anchored in Chatham Bay which had been recommended to us by a Kiwi couple we met.
>
> Another lovely bay - unspoilt and general only reached by boat - however after we had got a local boat round to the main town on the other side of the island to clear customs and immigration (and getting very wet in the process slamming into waves on the way back) we found out from the bar owners that there was a road and they could have taken us door to door by car.
> Met some Americans on a charter boat and joined them aboard for a few sangrias and swapped sailing tales.
>
> Finally we came to Grenada where we are now - Prickly Bay again. Loz and Lucy from Flying got the bus into town to find a cash point and replenish supplies (wine!), and managed to get on the student shuttle bus so this lifestyle and weather is obviously making us look younger.

> Tikka gets hauled out in Spice Island boatyard tomorrow morning for a couple of days to get cleaned and antifouled - which led to an amusing conversation with the lady in the office about how dirty our bottom was.
