Working toward going home.

We haul out on April 15 and fly on the 19. Looking forward to getting back to our new house that we barely moved in before we left in Nov. but decks,driveways and landscaping await us there. 

Looking back on our pictures and just have to share some great shots under and above water in Bequia.

A selfie on the sail from Admiralty Bay in Bequai to Tyrell Bay in Carricou. A cold miserable day but a great sail.

We are currently sitting in Prickly Bay, Grenada and working away on the jobs to be ready to haul out. Since we will not be going to a dock for a few days as we have in the past our way of tackling the jobs is a little different. Since we do not have an abundance of fresh water at our disposal all the cleaning of the decks and canvas will have to wait. We just hope we have scheduled enough on the hard as we are running out of things to do in the bay. 

We spent an afternoon last week on Grand Anse beach, just south of St. George on the west coast and oh my what a gorgeous spot. Anyone looking for a land holiday and a visit .....hint hint Van Waes check it out. 

Our dinghy the only one pulled up on the beach. Notice how crowded it is. 

Don't sit under the almond tree with anyone else but me .....

We had a lovely last sail.....just the kind of a day you want to finish on. Speed was a consistent 7-8 knots with 18-20 knot winds. 

We were thinking the other night about how far we have gone this year and by rough estimate using this chart we figure we went 690 nautical miles. Compared to last year when we went 42 ....remember the rigging problems. We are pretty happy. 

So as we wrap up the season we certainly view it as a great one seeing so many new places and meeting so many new people. That's what it's all about.
