It was a beautiful morning when we awoke after our awesome snorkeling at Moliniere Sculpture Park. After we switched the dinghy from where it spends most nights hoisted on the starboard side of Nancy Lu (for security reasons and to keep growth off the bottom) to it’s davits on the stern, we were ready to … Continue reading CARRIACOU—February 16 to 20, 2017
