Sailing away!

We are sailing, we are sailing...

It was time to get that 20% serious, and get Brett and Teresa to fall in love with their yacht! We left the safe bay of Chuagaramas, and were heading for Grenada. Of course it is not a comfortable sail, and the Sea did what it always does to Grenada, and the wind did too! We were rolling into the sunset, and all the way in the dark night. But luckily it is not too far, and the next day we sailed into Prickley Bay. Of course Nauticat was there, and soon Denise flew by with her blond hair in the wind. We stayed the night, after we fixed the main halyard, and we left for Tyrell Bay.

We stayed just long enough in Prickley Bay to enjoy the huge fresh lobsters on the barbecue with a touch of garlic and lemon...


We only stayed for the night to sleep a bit, and then sailed towards Bequia! I just love this little island, and it was wonderful to walk in the same steps my brother and his family did, almost a year ago when they came for the visit.



 The water was the same blue, the Whaleboner the same sweet gin...
And I sat there on the bone(r) just for my sister in law...

It was Brett`s born day and we celebrated the whole day, first with candles never ending their little flame of love, and we ended the day in the Gingerbread restaurant.


The next day Johan and Marco and I gave Brett and Teresa some peace on their yacht, and walked over the hill to Friendship Hill. I found some tamarindo on a tree, and Johan shook them down for a lovely tamarindo sauce.


I found some coconuts, fresh for us...


And we went snorkeling on the beach, and it was really good. We saw this octopus, a pearly grey color pretending not to be there, but Marco was determined to coax him out of that rock. He ignored Marco and only decided to swim away in his pumping swing, when a silvery blue moray chased him out! What an amazing show we had....



It was time again, and we set the sails for the BVI! I was so excited! New territory!
