Bon Voyage'

 Joe and Kim of Spice Island Kayaking decided that it would be best to get back to England so they closed down their local business and prepared to fly out. So a proper going away party was planned. Here is a group picture of the picnic.

 Joe and Kim, best of luck to you.

 After Joe and Kim left for England we headed north. Our first stop was Molinier Pt., Grenada. There are underwater statues there and it really is something to see. The pics we took do no justice but this is a MUST SEE thing so go to  youtu.be/WhVzwh9OFkY  or if that doesn't work do a search on youtube for underwater statues/ Molinier.

 We left Molinier Pt. and sailed north to Isle de Ronde. This is a long liner, a local fishing boat that sets very long fishing lines out to catch big tuna, marlin and wahoo etc.

 Approaching Isle de Ronde, this is one of the sisters, which are 3 large outcroppings of volcanic rock. The volcano which is 2-3 miles to the west is an active underwater volcano.

 This is Aqua Sulis. Becca, Amelie and Nick sailed along with us and Sunshine 2 as far as Carriacou then went on to St. Lucia. The rainbow was a nice touch.

 Sunshine 2 at anchor on the west side of Isle de Ronde. The three of us stopped here for the night.

 Carnival in Carriacou. There were a handful of guys dressed up like this and speeches were given, then everyone went home. Simple!

 We (us and Tim and Babs) dinghied to Sandy Island while on Carriacou.

 The north end of this very small islet was built up/ protected with piled up dead coral to prevent erosion.

 
When you need both hands!
