Grenada cont.

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.

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.

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.

So long for now.
