Goodbye Grenada
14th October 2025 | Odometer: 67.7nm | Grenada Our visas were running out! We had about a week to leave Grenada. The options were to pay to extend our visas and our cruising permit or … leave. So we decided to leave! But first, a couple of days of boat jobs. I worked on painting…

Sandy Island Serenity
10th October 2025 | Odometer: 55.4nm | Grenada The Sandy Island of Carriacou was our next destination – although only a short hop around the point from Tyrell Bay to the marine park, it was a bit rolly as we came around the corner. The marine park here requires you to pull up a mooring ball…

To Carriacou – A Week of Firsts
8th October 2025 | Odometer: 51.9nm | Grenada While at Hog Island, we had gotten the word – our final packages had been received at the Grenada Yacht Club… we just had to go round and pick them up. We were very keen to start heading northwards but the weather was not quite ready for…

A Rolly First Night and a Tasty Barbecue
4th October 2025 | Odometer: 10.2nm | Grenada It was finally here! The day we leave the marina! We had cleaned and washed and packed and prepped and filled water tanks and grocery shopped and literally anything else we could think of! It was time to go! We said farewell to the various folks we…

Energy Freedom & Actual Freedom
25th September 2025 | Grenada The engine parts were installed, the lazarette was painted and the training captain was coming in 2 days! We still had crap all over the back deck and miscellaneous things everywhere after weeks of working on the boat. We wanted to protect the stringers in the lazarette to stop the…

One of these things was painting the lazarette. The lazarette is a large storage area under the back deck.…

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
15th September 2025 After our delightful waterfall interlude, we carried on with the never ending list of things to fix and repair. Ryan has been amazing at figuring out all the issues plaguing the various systems. Here are some snapshots of the various repairs he has been undertaking… Toilet Fixing the toilet was a classic…

Grenada, Isle of Spice
11th September 2025 Grenada is a beautiful country. It’s split into two main islands, Grenada and Carriacou, with a couple of little teeny bits of land around in between them. The main island of Grenada has a large volcanic ridge line through the center; and right in the middle is a lake in the center…

Shopping!
8th September 2025 The navigation systems onboard were pretty much kaput; dead radar, dead VHF, dead foghorn and sounder and dead chartplotter – and a dodgy starboard navigation light. The autopilot worked though so that was a win. I had completed the Short Range VHF course earlier which meant we could buy a fancy AIS…

Introducing, Perspective
7th September 2025 When we purchased the boat, she was registered with the US Coast Guard as “Sadie Girl”. This wasn’t a show stopper for us and although we didn’t love the name, we could live with it. That is, until we tried to transfer the registration only to find that two Aussies, buying a…
