Hello…yes we are sill here.
We’ve been quite busy and have also had the odd day that we just hung around the boat limin’ (that's Grenadian for just chillin’).

A group of us rented a bus, with tour guide, for a tour around the island. We visited a chocolate factory, a rumery (rumery is to rum as winery is to wine…LOL), an inland lake, a fort, swam at a waterfall and had a great lunch at one of the local restaurants. We left at 9:00 a.m. and returned at 7:00 p.m.; it was a great but tiring day.
Sylvain’s girlfriend Nathalie, arrived from Montreal for a twelve day vacation; it is also her first time in Grenada and we all enjoyed her company.
Six of us left with Sylvain & Nathalie on Saturday morning for a two hour sail and went snorkeling at the underwater museum. This place is quite impressive; if you would like to view some of the statues, check out this website:

Monique & Jean of Desirada planned a picnic lunch on one of the beaches the day before Nathalie left….we miss you!
Everyone went to Whisper Cove Marina’s shop to pick up fresh meat to cook on the charcoal grill. Since we all have propane grills on board, it had been quite some time since many of us had the pleasure of the charcoal flavor.
We’ve relocated our boat, along with Joreane and Slysan, to St. George for an undetermined period of time. It is nice being next to town and being able to hop in your dinghy to go grocery shopping or head to a marine store.
We occasionally go to Port Louis Marina for happy hour and have regular routines of cleaning, snorkeling, visiting with friends and hoping on the bus to head to a different part of the island.
Tonight we’ll go to PLM for happy hour and stay to enjoy some of their delicious pizza…almost like going on a date…LOL…our 36th anniversary is coming up next week.
Have a great weekend!
