Becca
This is Natalie...a wonderful girl at the food market within strolling distance from the marina!
These beauties are "Skin-ups"...and they are very interesting! Upon first look they are plump, yet hard! You take one and crack the shell very gently between your top and bottom front teeth to expose a fuzzy, juicy, pale and creamy colored, delicate 'seed'. It is mostly the hard, non-edible seed, but everyone, EVERYWHERE is suckin' on these Skin-ups! They are wonderful...after you get over the fuzzies, they are tart, yummy and a healthy snack! Love em!
As with all fruits of unfamilar origin, you start slowly, search and get turned on to a perfectly ripe, rotund variety by the "in" crowd and voila, you are emulating a local Grenadian!
Can't wait to share all the delightful variety of fruit and veggies found here! Lots to learn!

| Vessel Name: | Altair |
| Vessel Make/Model: | Tartan 34' |
| Hailing Port: | Coconut Grove Sailing Club |
| Crew: | Dudley Clark and Becky Butler |
| About: | Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish! |
| Extra: | This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet! |
