Jazz on the Beach

Prickly Bay is a very large and popular anchorage in Southern Grenada. It's not hard to see why because there is everything right here -- beautiful beaches, enough civilization (but not too much) and easy access to the rest of Grenada via the public busses, which are actually large vans which run on specific routes for a very reasonable fare.
We spent Sunday afternoon at Jenny's, a restaurant on the beach at Grand Anse which offered jazz and brunch from noon until three. As usual they were running on island time because the music went on until about 4:30 and the food kept coming. About every 45 minutes something else appeared. We were served sushi by Jenny herself, a very charming, beautiful woman who was crowned Miss World in 1972! I think this counts as meeting a real celebrity. It was a glorious afternoon listening to good music (a trio with a great singer, a saxaphone, and, of course, a steel drum) in the comfort of the ocean breeze. Since the beach was right there, some patrons took beach chairs out on the sand and even took a quick swim. Since there were attractive young ladies enjlying a cool dip, Paul decided to take a swim also. He stated that the young ladies had NO influence on his decision (right!).
