Thank goodness for great charts, our Garmen (well, Wayne’s) and the guidebook to tell us how to safely navigate to this bay, lots of reefs, Grenada is a rocky little island, with a lot of reefs, with not many sandy beaches that we’ve seen so far. We motored from our bay the previous night as the wind was on our nose and found St David’s bay. It is a nice rolly bay with a good breeze. At first glance my impression of our new yard was not all that. But they have a lift large enough to haul our baby out, which is hard to find and they come highly recommended for rigging work. We went ashore to walk around and were greeted by a lovely bar/restaurant right on the shore peppered with palm trees and friendly people. We ordered some beverages and I went off to find Raquel, the office manager to let her know we had arrived.
Today was just an short excursion ashore as we had a lot of work to do to decommission the boat. The boys removed the jib, cleaned out the anchor and line lockers and worked on the exterior as I worked on removing perishable foods and items to be donated. Packing started and sorting of laundry too. The cleaning then kicked into full gear with striping the beds, wiping down all of the interior walls, cabinets, and floors. Storing items in closets and cabinets and more cleaning – mostly salt water residue and my hair! We finished our day with the last of Charlie and again a yummy meal to conclude our productive day!
