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

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

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

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

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

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

Today we decided to be tourists and signed up for a full day tour. We started at a waterfall, followed by a chocolate factory, rum distillery and ended at a national park. The tour pretty much took us around the entire island and to places we haven't been

Saturday we made good on a deal we had with Emma and went back to the waterfall she couldn't swim in when she hurt her foot. She was one very happy girl. They spent hours jumping and swimming, we had lunch and then they spent more hours jumping

We probably went to 1 (maybe 2) farmer's markets before coming to Grenada. Here we know the farmer's market schedules, who has the best stuff, when the lady sells the juice out of her van and have been to many roadside stands for fresh produce. We&

Our friends leave tomorrow, so we decided for their final day in Grenada it was only appropriate to take them out on a day sail. We sailed for a couple hours, then grabbed a mooring ball near the beach so we could swim for a while before heading back to

It was a beautiful day to relax at the beach and pool. Fun facts for Austin: Grenada has over 45 beaches, and by law all beaches in Grenada are public. Give Olivia some sand and a bucket and she can play all day. Well... we tried and failed miserably at

Our first stop this morning took us to the House of Chocolate. Emma has been wanting to go here for weeks. It is a boutique, cafe and mini-museum all about the history of chocolate. Fun fact for Austin: Cacao trees were first introduced in Grenada in 1714 by the French.
