Several have circumnavigated the globe, but our plan is to start with a circumnavigation of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. This is to be a 3 year cruise with no time schedules other than having Moondance in or near a safe habor during hurricane season.Capt. & First Matehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097393039817808983noreply@blogger.comBlogger128125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183617861248630130.post-18029505562356568232012-05-04T09:59:00.000-07:002012-05-04T09:59:23.487-07:00Carriacou and Petite Martinique<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While in Carriacou we had to haul out because there was a continuous leak into the bilge caused by 6 little holes near the engine intake thru-hull. These were old repairs, improperly done before I bought Moondance and were not known of until they eventually failed. Here I am waiting to be hauled.</div>

In this small yard you have to be sure you have everything you need to complete the expected job because there is no local marine store in Carriacou. Supplies can be ordered and shipped in by ferry but that can take from 2 days to 2 weeks to receive. Here I am putting the last coat of bottom paint after several days of fiber glassing, sanding and painting.</div>

We took an island tour while on Carriacou, this pic is from the only clinic on the island. The clinic is on one of the highest peaks and for a reason. Back in the early days the clinic was placed up here to get the sick out of the confines of the town where they had plenty of fresh breeze and fewer mosquitoes. It also removed the sick from the rest of the population to reduce exposure to certain infectious diseases. Dengue fever caused by a certain mosquito is still common in most of the Windward islands.</div>

While walking the island of Petite Martinique we stopped at a local shop to get something cold to drink. A few locals were there so I bought them a beer and we had one ourselves. After about 10 minutes of visiting with them, they wanted us to try their local strong rum called Jack Iron. Their rum has no labels on it and sold in 1 liter and 1 gallon plastic jugs. </div>

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.

This is a place that Carolyn really likes. We have to stop almost every time we pass by so she can get her jerk chicken fix. It is very good. They serve it up by chopping the chicken into pieces with a machete. You really don't know what part of the chicken you're eating but it is chicken (we think)!</div>

In Grenada, in fact everywhere in the West Indies, cruisers walk alot or take local buses that run regular routes. Here we saw the local highway department repairing pot holes. Look closely, yes, that is a wheelbarrow a shovel and a broom handle with palm leaves. We thought this was just a one time occasion but we noticed this going on all over the island in many different locations. Obviously this is standard equipment for this type of repair.</div>

We picked up Babs and Tim there and after a day of Carnival, we sailed to St. Anne's Bay on the south coast of Martinique for a couple of days. From there after checking out we did an overnight sail to Carriacou and checked into Grenadian waters once again. Tim and Babs just bought a nice Gulfstar motorsailer, Sunshine II and will begin a new life this November.<br /><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVqCJ-Fzq0QCspkOIk3g4MoyxdTNZ0hSJYiaiDLozKoxFa4AKNNu7H8pD7921zy9RtnJwmRqUNHfL5m9aTMROxXjg189VbLMVoRw_Ng3LcizgjoE6xtVxHGzqH9Cju-4bbogxSgx3ir9U/s1600/Trip+to+Martinique+2011+092.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We had hat nite in Grenada a while back and everyone had a lot of fun. The connection is a bit slow today so I will try to upload a few pictures later. Anyway everyone had to wear some sort of head cover and the different head gear was really fun. This was actually Kim's (Spice Kyaking) idea. Soon after that Carolyn and I sailed off toward Martinique. Our first leg took us to Carriacou and a couple of days later we did an overnight sail to Rodney Bay, St Lucia. </div><div align="justify"> Along the way I let out a line with a green squid type bait and caught 3 fish total up to here. They were a Blackfin tuna, a Bonita tuna, and a Mackerel. We were running short of ice so I quite fishing. </div><div align="justify"> The next morning was a beautiful sail to La Marin on the southern coast of Martinique. We stayed here for a little over a week then did a day sail north to Fort De France. Here we are waiting for guests to arrive tomorrow for Carnival. Carolyn is having fun shopping here in French Martinique. The produce is very high quality. I have not found any bad wine here and the beer is good also. We have no plans as such and will either stay here a while through Carnival or head for the southern coast of Martinique or maybe do a 2 day sail to Grenada, weather perm itting. </div><div align="justify"> I will try to upload a bunch of pictures later.</div>Capt. & First Matehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097393039817808983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183617861248630130.post-41005928794003776782011-02-02T10:33:00.000-08:002011-02-02T10:57:49.634-08:00Monkey, Manicou and Manish Water<div align="center"> Victoria is a small town up on the northern part of the island of Grenada. Every last Saturday of the month a food fest is held there. It was supposed to be a lot of local cuisine so Carolyn and I went on the bus for the festivities. We were not disappointed. There was some very interesting dishes available, like crawfish, fish, bull penile and manish (goat testicle) waters. A waters is like a thin broth or soup. There was also stewed monkey and manicou (opossum).</div><div align="center">Carolyn had the breadfruit pie and fried fish. I had the stewed monkey. We shared a sour sop ice cream for desert.

I had a talk with one of the cooks, Kisha, and she explained how it is done. In a large pot goes grated coconut and turmeric (known as saffron here in the West Indies) then meat (chicken usually), dasheen, breadfruit, other tubers if available, large dumplings and all of this is covered with callalou (a type of edible greens that looks like elephant ears) on top. Enough water is added till about half of the ingredients are covered, then it is covered with a lid and brought to a boil.<br />The coconut produces an oil that floats to the top and when it cooks long enough for the oil to mix into the rest of the ingredients (the oil goes down, hence the name oil down), it is done.</div><div align="center">This oil down was done on the side of the road next to ....

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. </div><div align="center">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.</div>Capt. & First Matehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097393039817808983noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183617861248630130.post-22299822856804214862010-10-20T10:36:00.000-07:002010-10-20T11:14:50.012-07:00Hurricane Season Count Down<div align="center">Carolyn and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time back home with family and friends. We visited almost everyone and even made some new friends. We even had some friends that came over and visited with us. We look forward to getting back to Grenada and starting another cruising season and meeting old friends down there. We will get Moondance ready, including a little fiberglass work and a bottom job and be in the water as soon as possible and hope to take a few pictures of the process.</div><div align="center">Yes, we purchased a new camera, so updated pics will be coming with our blogs. We hope to cruise back up the windward and leeward islands again, visiting some of islands we missed on the way down the first time and revisiting some of our favorite islands again. We have friends, Troy and Deana, and Steve and Pam who plan to get to the Dominican Republic by hurricane season next year and into the Windward islands the following cruising season. That means we will have to spend two more seasons in one of the worlds most beautiful cruising grounds, "life is good."</div>Capt. & First Matehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097393039817808983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183617861248630130.post-20043644580290989612010-06-03T14:33:00.000-07:002010-06-03T14:49:42.422-07:00Friends<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdFpaIsVMgNfRpyrVk3EmXCJt8mCkOGW2-ra5cVhRlk17DFyu-YIzV0hh28KFiywbvpYHyD3OLLyYhDChMxl5jlf5RxgKSUe4ba_gQg6Plm2J0rkNI6UIu4TotSnOR73pgkfGz150ByaI/s1600/Dominica+cont+010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478667153970595586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdFpaIsVMgNfRpyrVk3EmXCJt8mCkOGW2-ra5cVhRlk17DFyu-YIzV0hh28KFiywbvpYHyD3OLLyYhDChMxl5jlf5RxgKSUe4ba_gQg6Plm2J0rkNI6UIu4TotSnOR73pgkfGz150ByaI/s320/Dominica+cont+010.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center">We had a visit by Bab's and Tim from Texas. They wanted to experience what it is like to go cruising so we left Grenada and sailed to other nearby islands. We stopped at Isle Rhonde, Terryl Bay in Carriacou and the Tobago Cays. Six days later we returned to Clark's Court Bay in Grenada and enjoyed some local sites like the Rivers Antoine Rum Distillery. After 11 days they had to return home. Everyone had a great time.</div><br /><div align="center">Now it is time to start getting the boat ready for a haul out and we will fly home for hurricane season.</div>Capt. & First Matehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097393039817808983noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183617861248630130.post-4447222994813349242010-05-18T09:04:00.000-07:002010-05-18T09:45:10.283-07:00Grenada cont.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwGdxotjhQMXZdy72MHzhdJfQBYI5hW-lGbXRqtvvrcOUnDPiYt9KKfKnBjiYRbAR1s1gDplJkFaDSzCEKn25Sl__TUN4t5PhhUeHWPikMcvzGtjgvAxqCqDp9jlPAymQue8RDnm9DdF8/s1600/Dominica+cont+010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472651990713665314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwGdxotjhQMXZdy72MHzhdJfQBYI5hW-lGbXRqtvvrcOUnDPiYt9KKfKnBjiYRbAR1s1gDplJkFaDSzCEKn25Sl__TUN4t5PhhUeHWPikMcvzGtjgvAxqCqDp9jlPAymQue8RDnm9DdF8/s320/Dominica+cont+010.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center">After getting settled in Grenada we started seeing and doing things as we learned what was available. There is a lot to do and enjoy in Grenada. The first night out we went to De Big Fish bar and restaurant. There was a great band playing and we had beer and pizza with one English and two French couples. The next day was a walk to the stores and local bank. We walked for about 2 miles to the two different malls and had "fish water" in the park by the sea. Fish Water is like a soup with lobster, conch, fish, dumplings, potatoes and dasheen with a melody of seasonings and was very good. We ate this because one of the local schools was having a fair day in the park as a fund raiser. We are suckers for almost any kind of benefit like this.</div><br /><div align="center">Prickly Bay can be quite rolly and was, so we sailed from Prickly Bay to Clark's Court Bay. Still rolly but not as bad, so after we picked our little spot that was away from the other boats but still close enough to get to the marinas and beaches were things might be happening we dropped the main hook and I put out a stern anchor to hold us pointed to seaward. That cut down the roll to nothing except for when the rain and thunder storms would come through. </div><br /><div align="center">Clark's Court Bay is nice with 2 marinas and a third accessible by dinghy just around the corner in the next bay. A small village is right there with some groceries. So for we have been to movie night (free movie) where everyone brings munchies to share, hamburger night/ social, did an island tour and will be going to watch the big leather back turtles come ashore to lay their eggs at night. We have seen most all the spices grown locally and how they are processed for sale and consumption. We have also seen the last original water wheel being used for the production of rum in the western hemisphere. Rivers Rum Distillery is still operated the way it was since it started in 1785.</div><br /><div align="center">So long for now.</div>Capt. & First Matehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097393039817808983noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183617861248630130.post-71081178694936387192010-05-07T13:48:00.000-07:002010-05-07T13:54:45.001-07:00Grenada<div align="center"> After a week in Carriacou we sailed to Prickly Bay in Grenada and will explore the southern coast for a while.

We will be here about a week before heading farther south. We were in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Canuan</span> when an older fisherman swam up to the boat and wanted to sell his catch. The reason was because he didn't have a boat. Every morning he swam out , fished and swam in to sell his catch. We bought 5 lobsters and a crab one day and 5 lobsters and a fish the next. We paid 40 EC each time (about $16 US) and gave him a ride in to shore. We also gave him cookies for his kids. After that we sailed over to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mayreau</span> and went out to town for a cold drink, town was a mile away UP hill. Later we made the trip again to go to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dennis's</span> Place for a drink and an appetizer of whale. Whale is still hunted in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bequia</span> and we were lucky to be offered this local rarity. It looked like well done beef roast but tasted like fish. Very odd indeed. From <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mayreau</span> we sailed to the Tobago Cays and swam with the sea turtles and snorkeled the reef. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">As our camera is still not working we uploaded some pictures that we took this year around the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">BVI's</span> for your pleasure.<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVEmOu12e2su8rArRzkF26murbxmiOSzLCFkaoI3tP6p8iVqqzXRsib_xKkwpaYayTerFY4_KWYWxfFdGyEz1SWl36WpRJGXo3I5UaPw2GzLvlCM8hCo25omCWBXcC7gywBql9GxO0-w/s1600/Tortola,+BVI+048.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
