GRENADA

Sailing by Grenada

Maran Bay and the town



Two miles long Grand Anse beach

New development on the south side of Grenada

Grenada, independent since 1974, was in the political turmoil for years. Now it is settled and productive. For visitors it is interesting, beautiful, charming and most of all, fragrant . It is Spice Island.

We anchored in Prickley Bay and started preparations for the haul out. It is a tiring process and we take brakes: shopping, sight seeing, visiting the Capitol St.George

Busy streets of St.George

Special treat is a fruit, vegetable and spice market

New fruit, called suck-it. It has a large pit, it is sour and fun
spitting out, what you can not swallow

Run, girls, run!

During the rainy season, the water runs down the hill in streams. Cement canals are built by the houses and the bridges from the street to every door

I felt the wind into my face

Eyes glanced over blue lace

I knew my dream was close in sight

To live my life like bird in flight
