2026-06-06 Grenada, and just hanging out

 Sorry, not good on the photos this week.

Spent a couple days in St. Georges.  They only allow mooring now, so we did not stay long, as the anchorage got a bit rolly as well.    It was cloudy, and lots of  Saharan dust in the air.

We went to town to get groceries, and stopped at two stores, but ended up not getting anything as the fresh stuff did not look that great - guess we timed it wrong as the shelves were a bit empty looking.   We went for a walk to stretch our legs.  Took some photos of typical houses in St. Georges.  All the photos below were taken on the same street within 1/2 mile of each other.

Putting a small restaurant in the front of your home is very common.

Monday we left St. Georges and motored down to Prickly Bay.   Prickly was a bit rolly, but not bad, until of course nightfall, when it got worse.  We had to defrost the freezer again, as it is getting icy every couple of weeks now since our fan broke.   We rigged a temporary fan, but it is allowing the freezer to ice up a bit more.

Defrosting almost done, ready to put food back in

Tuesday we walked to the Ace Hardware store and got some supplies in preparation for our upcoming haul out.  We stopped at the large Ram grocery store as well, and we upstairs where they have bulk groceries.  Spent some time taking photos of food, with prices, so we will know if we want to stock up there or in Trinidad when we come back after hurricane season.

$75 EC for a 12 pack of Mt. Dew - that's $2.31 per can.  Won't be getting it here.  Dean is out of Mt. Dew, but this was too much to pay - so we did not get any

After groceries, we went in for a nice lunch, and then back to the boat, to enjoy the choppy rolly anchorage.

Wednesday we left Prickly, and went to Woburn Bay and looked for a good spot to anchor, but it was mostly boats on mooring balls, or anchored in deep water, so we went back to Hartman Bay, and anchored there.   There is a bit of chop and roll at times, but not near as bad as Prickly Bay.

Friday we took a walk to see the new haul out yard here in Hartman bay,  and continued down the  road to the bridge by Hog Bay to check it out.  Not a scenic walk.  Mostly gravel road, and then a dirt road.  No cars, but lots of trash along the road that people have dumped.   Oh well still nice to get out and stretch the legs, but it is getting hot now, so it is a very sweaty time just walking.

We will hang out here as long as the anchorage stays calm enough until time to head to Trinidad probably on the 15th.  We haul in Trinidad on the 18th.
