I have to say that I was reluctant to leave Dominica.  It’s my favorite Eastern Caribbean Island. Coincidentally, I am starting to write this blog post about The Saints and Guadeloupe, the first two places we went after leaving Dominica, heading north, while we’re moored, once again, in Prince Rupert Bay, Dominica after having been … Continue reading THE SAINTS AND GUADELOUPE—April 3 to 11, 2017

First things, first—the morning after our epic tour with SeaCat, we found out that the new grandbaby we’re expecting in September will be a BOY!  This was our last day in Roseau, and we spent it with fellow cruisers… lunching at Fusion Village, a great Italian place that Kendra and Carrie introduced us to, getting … Continue reading DOMINICA Part 2: Last Day In Roseau and On to Portsmouth—March 24 to April 3

We LOVED our time in Dominica (Pronounced: Doh-min-NEE-kuh), which was from March 21 to April 3!  It’s a very special place!  The best thing that this island has to offer is NATURE, NATURE, NATURE (including the homo sapien variety, most of the ones we met of this variety were tour guides, making the island’s natural … Continue reading DOMINICA Part 1: Two Epic Adventures in Two Days-March 21 to 23

We left Bequia for an overnight sail to Martinique, buddy boating with Tribasa Cross, around 2:45 on Friday afternoon.  We enjoyed sailing with Dolphins Friday evening! We  arrived at this quaint little town with a big anchorage, St. Anne, around 7:00 on Saturday morning, calling out, “Good-morning!” to Carl and Carrie on s/v Brilliant as … Continue reading MARTINIQUE—TIME TO BRUSH UP ON MY FRENCH—February 24 to March 20, 2017

Bequia, here we come!  Bequia, here we are!  We have salty decks from our close reached sail!  We got anchored in Admiralty Bay, tidied up, washed the salt off the bright work and wind shields, and just enjoyed this new anchorage and its sun set!   We had business to attend to in Bequia.  This … Continue reading BEQUIA (Pronounced: Beck-way)—February 20 to 24

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

Our fun in Grenada continued until February 15.  I really enjoyed staying for so long.  We were in Grenada for a total of 36 days; 23 of the 36 were spent anchored in Mt. Hartman Bay.  I think I would have been happy to stay put for our whole sailing season, but there is so … Continue reading “CAMP GRENADA” FEBRUARY 2 TO 15, 2017

Nancy Lu is still enjoying “Camp Grenada”, still anchored in Mt. Hartman Bay with easy access to all the goings-on!  We took part in a tour led by taxi driver, Cutty, on Wednesday, February 1, and it deserves an entire blog post to share it! Thanks to the daily morning “net” via VHF radio last … Continue reading Cutty’s Tour-Grenada-February 1, 2017

Hello Muddah!  Hello Fahddah! We have no complaints from “Camp Grenada”!  We’ve been in the country since January 11, but we’ve only been at anchor in Mt. Hartman Bay since January 23.  Camp Grenada is what cruisers (that’s us) affectionately call the various anchorages along the south coast of Grenada and the community that exists … Continue reading “…HERE I AM AT CAMP GRENADA” January 11, 2017 to January 31, 2017

We’re in Grenada at our marina in Port Louis getting Nancy Lu ready for hurricane season.  Until May 7, I hadn’t been a whole lot of help since I’ve been sick since April 28 in Carriacou.  I’ve definitely had a major sinus infection, but I may have had a cold or the flu, as well.  … Continue reading THE LAST POST OF SEASON 2016—THE WINDWARD ISLANDS—April 11 thru May 10
