Happy Easter to all

We are anchored in a bay on the South end of Union Island just off Frigate Island well protected from the swell, where someone started building a marina but went bankrupt, so only a slowly silting up and decaying outline remains.

The area of Grenada we were in is definitely suburbia with bigger houses being built, the monkeys song kept going through my head (‘It’s just a pleasant valley Sunday, here in status symbol land’) every time I was ashore.

I actually saw the green flash just after this photo (Union Island)

We left Prickly Bay Grenada on the 2^nd April, just after dark and managed to sail for all of four hours before the wind died, we motor sailed the rest of the way less one hour! The trip lasted fifteen hours anchoring here about 10am on the 3^rd, the anchorage is not all that big so I was a little worried but saw a sail leaving as we were approaching so came ahead only to find five boats all close in, so having come this far I went for it and found a spot close to Frigate Island and ‘dropped the hook’ which held first time, in celebration put the kettle on had a cuppa then went to sleep, leaving the gps on anchor watch.

anchorage and frigate island from Union Island

Having to clean Snow Whites’ bottom, and wandering off when I feel a little tied to look at the reef around Frigate Island; even took a wander /climb up frigate island yesterday.
