Fish Friday with Carolyn and Danny!

29 January 2011 | Victoria, NW Coast of Grenada...
Becca
We had no way to reach S/V Mrs. Desilia, Carolyn and Danny, the radio won't reach way over the mountain ridge on the south coast in Hartman Bay. They emailed us this morning still no word! What's up>

We tried calling Shademan...the taxi driver, du jour, but he wasn't answering so I started chopping for salsa and gave up on this evening with the gang! We heard S/V Alde Baron on the radio with Shademan telling him we were trying to reach him earlier and we got talked into joining the two buses full to the gills with fellow cruisers looking for a different flavor in "Fish Fridays" on the lee coast of Grenada! If we must!!!

This is smaller than Gouave, the fish capital of Grenada, but they do the same thing...close off the a couple of streets to traffic, line up their booths and cook the local dishes for everyone to partake.

The only thing I was bummed about was not getting anyone to join me for a taste of manicou, tattou, mona and iguana! That would be possum, armadillo, monkey and then the lizard! No takers on the land fare, but we danced, we ate seafood, being "Fish Friday" and all, we laughed and probably drank too much! I'm starting to like my new concoction, dark rum and ting....yummy!

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!
