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

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.

I would use an expletive there... but we are trying to keep this site family friendly. It all started out like any other day. We dropped our mooring ball and headed into a marina for the next week while our friends are visiting. We loved being on the mooring ball

This is what the girls have been waiting for... A lot of fun was had today. Unfortunately I made a rookie mistake and let them spend a couple hours playing in the water without sunscreen because it was overcast. They will pay the price for the next couple days. While

Wednesday mornings is the market at the marina. There are people selling homemade crocheted goodies, fruits, vegetables, eggs, homemade pesto, homemade jams, fresh juice, meat and baked goods. It gets busy with all the cruisers, so you have to get there early or they run out of the good stuff
