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.

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.

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