island life
We haven't been up to very much lately, which is why there haven't been any posts in a while. We've spent a lot of time at the beach, swimming, hanging out with new friends, sailing lessons and checking out the wildlife. We're

seven sisters
Today was the day to cross another waterfall off our list. We saved this for last because it is the hardest to get to. There are actually seven waterfalls (hence the name Seven Sisters), but three through seven are more difficult to get to. The path was pretty muddy and

beach and bingo
It was a beautiful day for a beach day. Last night we went to one of the other marina restaurants for dinner. Turns out Tuesday is trivia night. The girls really wanted to play... and surprisingly they are pretty good at it. Fun fact - Olivia named our trivia team

can't stand the rain
Fun fact - Grenada has two seasons: dry season (January to May) and wet season (June to December). It's not quite June yet, but the rain has started. We were cooped up for two days on the boat while it rained pretty much all day. As a bonus.

chocolate fest
This week was the Grenada Chocolate Festival. Saturday was family day. There was a make your own chocolate ball station, painting, face painting and kids yoga. We ran into a couple other families we know, so the girls had a great time with some friends. Fun fact - Grenada is

errands, fruit and hiking
We've spent enough time in Grenada to have a list of our favorite places to go. Now that we're back we're visiting them one by one. First stop this morning... the fruit stand across the street from the marina. The couple that runs the

Do we stay, or do we go? That was the question this morning when we got up. We decided we were ready to head back to Grenada for the next couple weeks. It was a beautiful 6 hour sail. We've been pretty impressed with how well the girls

back to carriacou
We woke up this morning with no real plans. We decided the water was too rough to try to swim with the turtles again, so we dropped the mooring ball and headed on our way. Braden has had a fishing trip in Alaska planned for a long time. We knew

swimming with turtles
We did end up staying in Mayreau another day... and this trip to the beach we had the camera! Two things that have gotten a ton of use in the last month... (1) the paddleboard, and (2) masks and snorkels. So far all the islands we've been to

much better
Last night was not the best. Poor Emma got sick right after dinner. Not sure if it was the food or all the rolling the boat was doing or a combination of both. She got some fresh air, water and fell asleep outside in the cockpit. Luckily this morning she

on to the next one
This morning Braden and Emma headed into town to clear out of Grenada. We've been here since April 1st and were ready to visit another country for a little while. What we thought would be a fairly quick trip to customs and immigration turned out to be a

on to a new island
Good weather was forecast for Thursday, so we decided it was time to move on to the next island in Grenada. But first we had to get around the active volcano in the ocean. That is not a joke. Fun fact - there is actually an active volcano in the
