Friday, December 12 Prickly Bay, Grenada Yesterday we woke in the later side and didn’t listen to Chris Parker. That’s ok as we get his emails later in the day.

Tuesday, December 9 Prickly Bay, Grenada We started our day in the usual way listening to Chris Parker weather which told us probably Sat or Sun is the day to leave to start going north. Then we listened to the Cruiser’s Net. Nothing going on today we are interested in except for,shopping buses, and we […]
Monday, December 8 Prickly Bay, Grenada We had some rain showers last night that were just enough for Phil to close the hatch and me to put up the side panels and close the dodger window—and then stop. After a while we opened the forward hatch, and kept the fan on. Early this morning, after […]
Sunday, December 7 Last night I had my first good night sleep and woke at 515am. I took advantage of the quiet time and wrote yesterday’s post. We were up for the cruisers’s net, but being Sunday, there wasn’t one. At least my alarm is set so we won’t miss it tomorrow. Phil replaced the […]

He thinks the Christmas winds came and went before Thanksgiving this year, and I hope he’s right! We will be here for several days and haven’t started looking for a weather window […]
Dec 5, Friday Yesterday after listening to Chris Parker’s weather on the Internet, it was a GO for us to leave to sail to Grenada. Then we listened to the Cruiser’s Net and heard that a woman on Homeward Bound was looking for a ride to Grenada. After talking about it, we hailed her and […]
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 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 […]
