Can't beat a double rainbow in the morning - Prickly Bay

After a couple of weeks in Grenada we are good and relax - almost totally forgotten the fatigue from 24/7 watch after watch at sea. We got our boom re-welded and riveted, replaced the tang on the vang (just gotta love that rhythm) . We are off today for a 3-day sail to the US Virgin Islands.

Shiny new rivets and a well fit gooseneck


Cocoa for chocolate is a major crop in Grenada

When we arrived we needed to get limes for our Gin & Tonics. Turns out there is a bit of a shortage on the island. The ones you can get are very small. Another unexpected event due to the Covid Pandemic. There was a thought on the island that limes protected you from Covid, so the trees were picked bare pretty quickly. Now all you get is the early, preharvest little ones-- but they're delicious, and we're fighting scurvy.
