Getting to Grenada

We left Trinidad on Wednesday afternoon, after spending over a month there. We had a great time, saw some amazing things and met some wonderful people. Leaving the mooring was a bit stressful, but I was happy to say goodbye to the plank I had to walk across every day to get ashore! 🙈 The sail to Scotland Bay around the corner was fine, and apart from an early-evening party boat, we basically had it to ourselves. We anchored there overnight and left at 3am because the trip to Grenada is about 15 hours long and we wanted to arrive before dark. There was a very strong current pushing us west and we were told to keep east of the oil rig so that we weren’t catapulted past Grenada, but this meant that we spent a lot of the trip with our nose into the swells. Not pleasant! It was our first sail without crew and I’ve got to say I was a bit anxious. 😬 Luckily it went smoothly, and when we arrived in Grenada, Tony was there to show us where to anchor. We are now in Prickly Bay and ready for the next leg. By the way, you must say Gra-nay-da, because Gra-nah-da is in Spain! Ok? 😁Read more
