I miss Ooh La La but at least I got the rain jacket.


We are anchored next to Hog Island in Grenada. I finally got to wear my ‘raincoat’. I found this about two years ago in my favorite little Grapevine boutique (Ooh La La). I tried it on, fell in love with it then looked at the price tag (GLUP). I told the sales girl that I could not buy it because it had to go on the boat and needed to be water proof. She said ‘It is water proof’ therefore I HAD to buy it….right?

the I-dog has sea legs


The I-Dog takes the prize for sail boat steadiness. It stayed right in its’ corner and never moved the entire trip. And it wasn't glued down....amazing.

And a fuzzy mainsheet...


We also changed the mainsheet line it Rockport and a close inspection of that showed quite a bit of wear. The line that got most of the use is already fuzzy.

Can you say chafe?


As we were putting on the sail cover we released the reefing line and noticed that our brand new line was nearly chafed through.
We put this on in Rockport TX with the help of our crew David Hayslip…3000 miles did it in.

Grenada at last


And, finally Grenada…it was a long haul getting here but we made it!

Our first mango tree


This is a mango tree, as you can tell they are not quite ready to eat yet.

We missed seeing ‘Moonhole’ as it is only open in the winter so we will need to re-visit Bequia.

Another project for Bob


Hey Bob, here is a house remodel just waiting for your touch.
