Made It To Carriacou

Firstly, some leftovers from St. George’s:

Grand Anse Beach - Glen & Pam - but also where the Marines Landed in 1983

Glen - Smashing the Conch (Lambi) For Dinner

We made it!  We arrived at about 4 pm and are now safely anchored in Tyrrel Bay, Carriacou.  We left St. George’s and motor-sailed the leeward side of Grenada.  For the most part the wind was just off our beam but when we lost the shelter of the island we were headed bow into the wind and faced large rollers.  The ride became unpleasant for some and Blue Pearl endured salty showers for most of the six hour, 31 nautical mile trip.

Cruise Ship Arrives as we Leave

There were some concerns expressed before we left regarding seasickness.  Deborah and I donned our sea wristbands and Deborah added a single earplug.  Suffice to say that one of us enjoyed a few beers and even enjoyed a one-hour nap below decks but the most important thing is that no one got sick to their stomach.

It Was A Little Rough At Times

We experienced some tropical showers along the way but entered the bay and anchored under sunny skies.

Sea Bands May Have Saved The Day

Our plan is to overnight in Tyrrel and then to continue north.
