St. Georges, Grenada

Well we have signed up for the Billfish tournament and our boat is called “YESAYE” with skipper Gary Clifford, who is one of the local boats operating out of St. Georges.

We emailed Gary with our request to join his current team of anglers and after a short wait, we had a reply and I would be the last angler. The competition is run every year with boats arriving from some of the other local islands, Trinidad, Tobago, St Lucia, St Vincent and even a team from Jamaica.

A total of 45 boats have signed up for the event, our boat was currently out at sea getting in some practice with Karin and Ferdinand from Germany, who we meet when they arrived back from there trip.

After paying our entrance fee in the Grenada Yacht Club, we were introduced to another one of our fellow anglers, who is from the UK, Liverpool and his name as he likes to be know is ‘Ziggy’, who turns out is on an extended holiday here in Grenada and like me thought it would be fun and a good idea to take part in the competition.

We were all introduced and were given brief instructions on what we should do the following morning, which was turn up early at the boat ready for departure.
