Dinner

July 6

Strategy to eliminate all mosquitos by trapping them inside boat apparently worked. Their aggravating presence has been minimal in the Eastern Caribbean. This clever tactic seems to have worked for flies as well. Although many are reported to have escaped to Trinidad, I am skeptical, but will remain vigilant.

In the same vein, after catching second blackfin tuna, fear decimating the population. Another few could do it, so have sent out strict orders with description of offending lure so they may avoid it. No such forbearance will prevent the slaying of any dorado (AKA dolphin and mahi mahi) that fails to read the memo.

Ran wing and wing in light air for awhile after leaving Tyrrel Bay at 0730 to get a better angle on west coast of Grenada. Wind filled in, eventually to over 20, for a beautiful broad reach all the way to St. George's Harbour by 1330.

Spent balance of afternoon exploring Island Water World chandlery (of course), Grenada Yacht Club and the grocery then returned home to collapse into a puddle of mush that resisted any appearance of life until late dinner was demanded by peckish stomach.

After additional exploration of the big city in the morning, plan to sail around to Prickly Bay or close environs to begin clean-up of boat preparatory to putting her on the hard for three months.
