(Ron, Carol and Harry at the Grenada Yacht Club)
Our good friend Harry Eggert arrived on November 4 from Canada to sail back with us to St. Thomas. After his arrival party, we began provisioning and preparing Alaunt for our trip. We spent a two more days in Mount Hartman, including a dinghy tour of Clarkes Court Bay, Le Phare Blue Marina and a couple of swims at Hog Island.
The same locals who sold us the lobsters before came by and we bought two huge lobsters for Harry. What a feast!
On November 7 we brought Alaunt to the fuel dock at Secret Harbour and topped off our water and gasoline. We motor sailed around to St. Georges where we spent two very rolly nights on a mooring off town. We went to the Spice Market, Open Market, Fish Market, marine store and our last grocery provisioning and we're ready to go sailing. On Thursday we caught up to Mike and Mandi Block of "Parrot Tales" for lunch at the Grenada Yacht Club. They had a mooring next to us in Red Hook and were preparing their boat to sail to St. Martin for the season.
I'll try to post blogs along the way, but don't know how reliable the WIFI connections will be.
