The main event, at least for me, was going to see the “Classic” cricket match in the afternoon. Helen decided to stay aboard and clean up some more while I picked up Jim from Bees Knees to go to see the match. I have to admit as an Englishman this was the first cricket match I have ever watched live and the first I’ve ever watched all the way through. It was a match of 20 overs each so it was not going to be too long a game.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>I must also confess to not recognizing most of the names. As far as I could tell there was no match pamphlets so I had to capture the names by taking photos of the score board. The World IX included Andrew Caddick<\/a>, Stuart Law<\/a>, Niall O’Brien<\/a>, Rob Bailey<\/a>, Craig White<\/a>, Derek Randall<\/a>, Devon Malcolm<\/a>, Peter Such<\/a> and Nick Cook<\/a>. The West Indies included Winston Benjamin<\/a>, Vasbert Drakes<\/a>, Raul Lewis, Phil Simmons<\/a>, Keith Arthurton<\/a>, Sir Viv Richards<\/a>, F Stephenson and Andre Fletcher<\/a>. Viv Richards (batsman in picture to right) was about the most recognizable name to me but some of the rest were familiar.\n<\/p>\n

The game concluded with the West Indies beating the World IX by 5 wickets. After the match Jim and I walked back to our dinghy and I dropped him off at the dock where he is now moored again ready to fly to the US next week. Shortly he joined us aboard Dignity for a farewell dinner. Most of the friends we have made down the islands have left Grenada now, Jim is one of the first and last so this was a special Au Revoir. Helen as usual cooked a fine curry which was enjoyed all round.\n<\/p>\n

We finished the evening looking for shooting stars followed by watching an episode of “The Fringe” which we’ve just go into.\n<\/p>\n

That may have been our last evening in Grenada for some time. It all now depends on our being able to get hold of our consignment in time.\n<\/p>\n
