Here we are checking into Carriacou, one of the two tiny islands that comprise the country of Grenada. A baby step toward our hurricane goal of the mother island, Grenada. We couldn't wait to embark on the latest exploration of this quaint little seaside wharf. The little ship Altair was welcomed by the cutest and sweetest kid , Alexis, at the customs office. He was so effervescent describing Grenada's upcoming regattas and carnival! He didn't stop there. When we assumed "girls were hanging all over him", he gladly described his colorful grandfather with his 30-40 kids. He's afraid to date because he may be related to the girl.

We got the calendars for the next two months and it seems we are going to be VERY busy! Grenada is going to be a joyful island if we are to listen to all the cruisers who've spent time here and shared their tales of these gentle, smiling people, gorgeous harbors and the flora. We we're just stopping long enough to clear in with Customs and Immigration, however, that G&T was huge (a side car the likes of Fox's in Miami) and a sail to Tyrrel Bay wasn't going to happen tonight!
