Veggie stand in Clift


Trying to keep in shape an do marketing at the same time is fun in the islands. After the ‘Cruisers Net’ which comes on the VHF radio channel 68 at 7:30 AM each morning we (usually, but not always just the girls) go walking.

The ‘net’ is an informal radio broadcast of what is happening in Grenada, local businesses tell if there are any specials, cruisers list ‘treasures of the bilge’, etc.


This is Frances, our favorite vegetable vendor and one of our prime walk destinations in Clift, which is just above Lower Woburn. Believe it or not, most of the way there is uphill!

Here is my favorite ‘beer tender’.


Here is my favorite ‘beer tender’ at the Gouyave Fish Fry.

Fish Fry in Gouyave


We took a bus to the Gouyave fish fry – fishing capital of Grenada and had a great time. Mark wanted lobster our first of the season. The local population in Gouyave set up booths each Friday closing down 2 adjoining streets and start cooking.

Squeaker


Of course, Squeaker the kitty makes up to Mark (who is slightly allergic) and falls asleep on his foot.

Day sailing at last


Then we got to go sailing for the first time in months with Diane which she checked out her boat and sails after having some work done….it was a wonderful day.

Dinner out island style


Diane had Mark and me over for dinner – yummy chicken soup.
