WELL, we never
made it back to Carriacou. The predicted
weather is for a possible tropical storm or worse. I swear, we can’t win!!!! We went north to get away from hurricanes
last year and Irene joined us – this year, we went south to avoid them and here
comes Ernesto (if it becomes a named storm).
I don’t know how much of the regatta got cancelled or postponed but we
opted not to sail back over there – it is about 30 or 40 miles.
Instead,
we stayed at Grenada and have done some exploring and shopping. We got to see a lot of the southern part of
the island when we were looking for marinas and anchorages for Alibi. We need a fairly secure place to leave her
while we are in Key Largo. We also hiked
what was SUPPOSED to be 2.5 miles out to the airport to get our tickets
(somebody doesn’t know how to measure).
Anyway, the trip is on – whether we close the deal on the house or not,
we will have the house ready for the next deal.
Once
again, we have completely stripped the deck of the boat for a possible
storm. We would have done this even if
the weekend didn’t have 30-40 knot predicted winds with the TD-5. We have friends from Celtic Rover watching
our boat and our dog for us. In
exchange, we are bringing some things back from the states and doing some
fiberglass work on their boat.
News
FLASH! It is now Tropical Storm Ernesto
as of 5PM Thursday. We have internet
here – if it doesn’t get knocked out and we will post a SPOT message after the
storm passes in the event that internet/electricity take a hit. Watch for facebook or check your e-mail if
you are one of our “people”. Stay Tuned…….
