Another "windy season" is winding down in Grenada. That is what the locals call Hurricane Season since they rarely get hurricanes down this far south.  Anyway, we find ourselves now scrambling to get the boat project list completed so we will be ready when it is time to leave. Where did the summer go?

Darrell has returned from a trip back to TX to see about his Mom. We are prepared that these trips could become more frequent. While he was there, he got to spend a lot of quality time with Lyric (the grandson) and even got to attend his second birthday party.  Roxy and I are glad he is back with us on the boat. Even if he did mess up the list of items I sent for him to get for me - grrrrrr!  


While he was gone it seemed that a rash of various crimes took place in this part of the Caribbean. That makes me doubly glad to have him back on board. I know Roxy is a good first line of defense, though.  One night, he stayed out late watching football at the marina and I thought she was going to tear him apart when he came home!!  

Bingo was adopted by a veterinary student and her name is Isla. It was a good change. She just couldn't stop peeing on my settee cushions. She has not had a single "accident" in her new home. I miss her and her lively personality but our home smells nicer with her gone. Roxy is not very sorry that she left - I really expected her to be a little sad. Nope - she is happy being the center of attention again!!  lol




The plan is to go west as we leave here this year to see some new sights. We have charts and books detailing new countries for the next chapter of this great adventure. It will be bittersweet as we begin saying farewell to the cruisers we have spent the summer with. Many are making plans to leave here very soon. In the next few weeks, I will likely run a test run on the SPOT messenger so if you are on the "top ten" list, just ignore it as we haven't left yet. However, we hope to spend Christmas in Cartagena so get out the Caribbean maps once again because we are going to uncharted territory for us!  Cheers to all!!
