Season's end
26 February 2018 | Clarke's Court Boatyard, Grenada
ICS
Having sat at anchor behind Hog Island, Grenada for about 3 weeks waiting for the weather to moderate, and seeing no sign of that happening we decided to come home early. We had to return in early April and so we had LA hauled back out at Clarke's Court, packed everything away and are now back in the UK.
Had we stayed we would have been in a rush to go North once we returned in Mid May, and would have missed out on all the places we wanted to spend time in, such as the Bahamas, as we tried to escape the hurricane zone.
So we shall return in early November and escape from the South of the chain when the winds should be more favourable and not so strong.
We are not alone in this although others are just staying put until the weather breaks.
We managed to travel 10 miles and put 5 hours on the engine and 25 on the generator, and on leaving all essential services were working, so hopefully not too many jobs to do on our return
