Grenada Farewell

If all goes well today will be our last full day in Grenada. The quick haulout for the survey went well yesterday -- we were in the slings at 9am, Bob the surveyor was able to do his thing, Kevin scraped the unwanted barnacles off the hull, paid the bill for hauling (yay -- cheaper than expected!), and we were back in the water and anchored again by 10:30 am. A half-hour later the owner of the rigging shop came by to quality-check the work Wayne had done. He made a few small adjustments and said to come by the shop for the bill after lunch. Which we did, and were again given a bill that was cheaper than quoted -- score! Although maybe it was compensation to Kevin, who spent two days working almost as hard as Wayne, hoisting him up and down the mast. (Usually the rigging guys work in teams of two but since we wanted the job done as fast as possible, Kevin had to pitch in!)

Today the plan is to clear out of customs and immigration. Then tomorrow we will leave early and head up to Union Island to clear into St. Vincent and the Grenadines in time for the holidays. We're looking forward to being on the move again.
