Grenada update

OK. Here are a few pics on the new camera. Seems to be working.

This is Grenada Marine from the bay. There are first come first get moorings on the west side but we chose to anchor on the east side of the bay because I found it less crouded and less rolly.

Apartments just on the east shore of the bay. These cottages rent for 600 US normally, but go for 140 US during the off season (like now).

The huge travel lift used by Grenada Marine to get all manner of boat in and out the water.

Here we are snug and secure just after we completed our bottom job.

Like I mentioned before, Grenada Marine and St. David's Bay is surrounded by high terrain and is very safe as a hurricane hole. But that same blessing becomes a real task when you try to do work on your boat yourself. There is very little breeze and it can be buggy.

Back in Grenada

Howdy to all.

Carolyn and I have made it back to Moondance after a 5 month visit back home in La. Grenada Marine (the boat yard in Grenada where we left Moondance on the hard) is OK. We were put well up into the yard a good distance from the water. This was good for hurricane season but not so great while we live on the boat and make repairs. It is hot, humid and nothing of a breeze except just before a rain.

The good thing is most everyone is very nice and helpful and the marine store is in the yard with most everything you could need. We should be finished with the fiberglass work (nicks, cracks, and filling in the holes left behind when I removed the old knot meter from the bottom of the boat) and the bottom job tomorrow. Then we start on a water tank leak and getting the engine back to it's prime. It will be nice to be back in the water. I'll take pics tomorrow.
