Hike
06 December 2012 | Hog Island

Took a nice hike in which we made it around all of Hog Island. There is a bridge between Hog Island and Grenada (where pic is taken from)
We walked through some THICK brush about knee high for a half mile or so. (Lucky for Richard, no snakes on Hog Island) (then lucky for mama they packed a bunch of rocks around the base of the bridge other wise I was going to jump off...)
We were going to try and get up to a bird sanctuary but we cut the hike short. The humidity here is incredible, so after about an hour of hiking all my sunscreen was sweating out and running down my chest. So as not to risk getting to toasty this early in the trip we cut things a bit short to get back.
Our freshly repaired dinghy is acting up again, so at the immediate moment we have no vehicle short of the kayaks or swimming to shore. Captain John is going to try and find a shop tomorrow to let them have a look while Sarah and I (assuming we can get to shore) have an Island Tour scheduled to check out some local chocolate factories as well as some rum factories! Will post a photo or two of that tomorrow.
