The Lagoon, St. George's, Grenada

Well although our plans are ever changing at least once we have one we act upon it. Five minutes after my last blog update we were under way from True Blue Bay and off to St. Georges to get fuel, water and provisions plus check out with customs. We didn’t arrive until late afternoon though so decided to leave on Thursday morning so that we could meet with Ziggy, a lovely guy that Kevin met during the fishing tournament and has shared our wedding and various other days with us since and has been a real hit with all our family and friends too.

I spent the day on Wednesday doing countless loads of laundry with all the bed linen etc from our visitors so we finally restored the boat back to standard. It was a very squally day and it was actually quite a relief to sit in a quiet corner of Grenada Yacht Club which is wonderfully cool and shaded reading my current Patrick O’Brien (I’m on no.10 now so it’s a race between Kevin and I who will get to read the next 10 first!). So back to the boat where Kevin had been sweltering in the heat to make up all the bunks again and take a shower in time to meet Ziggy.

Ziggy kindly took us out for dinner to Mount Cinnamon a new development along Grand Anse beach where we had a lovely meal and rum punch, as now seems to be our custom. Ziggy is really making the most of his retirement despite some health problems which would stop a less determined person and his positive approach to life is fantastic and we have really enjoyed meeting him.
