Happy New Years!

It has been a few days of consistent sailing. We left the Pitons and Saint Lucia ad had a fantastic sail to Bequia, dropped the hook and settled in for New Years Eve.
The fireworks were at midnight, so we went to sleep and once the clatter started we arose and watched the spectacle. The next morning, after some reading and writting we set sail again, and the wind God’s were kind. We journeyed to Petit Saint Vincent and marvelled at the pristine beach on this exclusive private island. We, went for a swim in the turquoise waters and although not much marine life, the water was crystal clear!
This morning I taught a fitness class and after sweating profusely, I jumped into the water in my birthday suit.... Cooling down, before heading to the next destination. Today’s sail had more swell then wind and it met motoring for the majority of time.
We were going to anchor in Halifax Harbour, Grenada, but the smell of farbage was overwhelming.... So we decided to head to Dragon Bay and pick up a mooring ball. We took a few tries to grab it, but finally got secure, but not without my reading glasses flying off my head. We went for a swim, as it was 5pm, and lots of fish welcomed us in this Marine Preserve Bay. All the boats left the moorings, which made me suspicious... Turns out we are in Flamingo Bay, not on the charts (the bay before Dragon). This Bay is rolly as well. It woll be nice to have sleep in a calm anchorage or on the hard soon.
Tomorrow we will head to St Georges, only another 10miles... And at midnight we will set sail for Trinidad.Read more
