As planned, Helen was collected by Anne and went off to Yoga hosted by Devi from Arctic Tern. She came back looking all fresh and stretched having enjoyed herself. We hung around and did our calls before heading round the corner to Mt Hartman Bay where we anchored for the first time south of 12 degrees North (Helen looks at me weirdly on this point).
We had lunch then went ashore to look at Martin’s Marina and to have a walk around the peninsula that separates Prickly Bay and Mt Hartman Bay. Without a decent map we made a few wrong turns but got to see some interesting places and properties. We visited Prickly Bay Marina too which saves us taking Dignity there which we may have done tomorrow.
Our walk took us to the very end of the peninsular to Prickly Point where the fancy houses gave way to a small bit of rugged land.
One of the more interesting places we saw on the way back was a yellow castle like home. It would be cool to live in a place like that.
Tomorrow we have one more marina to look at. We’re pretty sure we’ll anchor Dignity in Prickly Bay while we’re in New Jersey. However, when we return we’re due to get our upgrade on the control board and we need a marina for a night or two. Where this will be we haven’t decided. After tomorrow we’ll have seen them all and can decide.
Tomorrow night we’re almost certain to go back to Clark’s Court Bay for their Fish and Chips evening. On Saturday there is a Grenada Hash House Harriers event planned. I hadn’t heard of the Hash Harriers before but it’s world wide. It seems to be a casual Rotary Club aimed at runners/walkers who like a beer or three. They describe themselves as drinkers with a running problem. Despite all this it is a family thing. Apart from the fact this seems to be right up our alley, this will be a good way to meet some of the indigenous population. They have a walk/run planned for Saturday afternoon so we reckon we’ll join them. They have an open invite on the VHF net every morning so we should be more than welcome.
