Thursday, December 4 Today is the big day we finally leave Chaguaramas for Prickly Bay in Granada. We listened to Chris Parker and the local net before we went to check out with customs and immigration. On the net a woman Inga was looking for a ride to Grenada so we got in contact to […]

In preparation for Lorraine arriving today I cleaned a little and filled the water tank and sun showers. At 7p Ian the taxi driver knocked on the boat and introduced me to Diane. She drove me to the airport so we could pick up Lorraine. We got there at 8 PM and Lorraine came out […]
December 1 Monday This morning I finished reading volume one of Shelby Foote’s book The Civil War. I noticed yesterday that no anchors were rigged. The bow roller was empty. This would not do as when we left the dock we have to be ready to lower the anchor at a moments notice if something […]
November 30 Sunday This morning after coffee I walked over to the gas dock and got 10 liters of gas for the outboard. After I got back, I washed the under side of the dodger. After this I read then had lunch. At 12:30 I started to walk over to Cruise Inn where dominos is […]
November 29 Friday This morning when I turned on the SSB there was too much loud interference so I turned it off. Next I checked for internet service as yesterday afternoon it stopped working. It was still off. With no internet I couldn’t laze around drinking coffee and reading the paper so I had to […]
November 27 Thursday Up early as usual but discombobulated as being Thanksgiving there was no weather from Chris Parker. Next thing as I was getting ready to paint the dingy bottom, I missed the local net on VHF Chanel 68. So if anything special was planned for today I missed it. Oh well! Since it […]
November 26 Wednesday I had a restful night now that Changes is in the water. The C dock is well protected but the boats still roll around on passing wakes. Basically the boat is never still but it way better than the anchorage. Once the coffee was made I pumped the bilge and noticed that […]
November 24 Monday I got out of bed at 6:30 AM , did my exercises, made coffee and tried to listen to Chris Parker’s weather. I could hear him on the SSB at 8.137 MHz but he was so light that I didn’t get most of his forecast. It was laundry day so I gathered […]
November 22 Saturday I got up a little early and got my stretching in before the weather. When Chris Parker came on the radio I could hear him especially good but it was short lived as the signal soon got all garbled. I drank my coffee and started to read the paper. But there was […]
November 23 Sunday I slept in and had a late breakfast of cereal and my morning coffee. I spent the morning reading Shelby Footes volume 1 of the Civil War. After lunch I walked over to Cruise Inn to play dominos and pick up some groceries. The dominoes were not kind to me as I […]
