Back in Prickely Bay,Grenada

We arrived back in Grenada on Oct 23, a week earlier than usual but when a seat sale pops up I have to grab it. It was a long day with a 2:30 am start with Robert Q ( ground transportation) from London to Toronto. Air Canada Rouge direct flight to Grenada. The plane was full and on time. We had an easy time at Customs and caught a taxi to our hotel/apartment. The taxi driver made a quick stop at a roadside "grocery store" for bread and eggs and beer so we were set for the night. The boat was in good shape when we arrived the following morning with only a light haze of mould inside and quickly cleaned up. The engine started on the first try ...always good. We had both picked up bad colds before leaving Canada and Brian is now better and I am still with a cough and totally plugged ears. It has been almost three weeks so I started an antibiotic last Sat. I think I do feel better. 

The launch went well on Thursday and great to be back in the water with the breeze. It has been very hot. The island has had a lot of rain over the summer and everything is very lush. They are all grateful to not have had the hurricanes that devastated so many other islands. The islands support each other and relief efforts are still going on here. 

The hull needed to be polished and buffed and with the help of our neighbours kayak the job was made easier. Looking nice and shiny. It's another time I'm glad for one hull and only 38 ft. 

We have decided to put Peace and Plenty up for sale. Happy day / sad day for sure. We are thinking six months is too long to be away and miss family and Christmas. Maybe a little land yacht ( trailer) and three months in the warmer states would be our next adventure. We would like to sell down here. So we will list on online sites and see what happens. We are prepared to stay and see what comes of it. If anyone knows of anyone interested email us we have an ad and lots of pictures to share. Trying to declutter and make her spiffy. 

We have no concrete plans for travel. Probably Martinque for Christmas and Dominica in Feb. 

Take care and keep warm.
