Video #38 The crew off Annecam go to the 27th Dinghy Concert in Grenada

We had the opportunity to attend the 27th annual dinghy concert here in Grenada and we did, along with quite a number of other cruisers. What a day of fun and entertainment we all had. The youtube video should give you a taste of what we had. I even ended up with a dunking from two of the American cruisers, the water was nice and warm and we all had a good laugh afterwards.
At the moment we are keeping a watch on the Tropical Storm Danny that is moving in our direction and most of the forecast models have it making landfall next Monday or Tuesday just to the north of our position, as a Cat 2 Hurricane. This means that we will not get a direct hit but we should still feel the effects with the rough seas producing a surge and the wind turning 180 degrees on the back of the storm and lots of rain, only time will tell. We are looking at our options to minimise the risk to us and Annecam.
1. Stay where we are and ride it out.
2. Move Annecam to another bay where we can tie up to the Mangroves and run two anchors.
3. Put Annecam on a mooring until the danger has past.
4. Have Annecam hauled out and secured in the new boat yard at Clarkes Courte.
5. Sail down to Trinidad away from the path of the storm.
These are just some of the options we will be considering over the next few days. We will try to keep you all informed on here and our new facebook page; Sailing on Annecam.
Life is about to get very interesting on Annecam.
