Summer solstice in the Caribbean, watching the World Cup
with Trinity, and my new Dutch friends from Nelly Rose at Prickly Bay marina. So
much fun, football, half priced pizza, happy hour beers, I wish it could go on
forever. Trinity gave me their old digital camera, so finally here are some
photos again:
Thanks Trinity!
Nelly Rose
It’s so lovely here, I’d like to stay and work, and there are
a lot of expats here, but work visas are very expensive, and therefore a
disincentive for employers. Having a British passport helps, I asked around,
tried with a yacht broker, but it seems very difficult, if not impossible.
Prickly Bay, Grenada
I really wanted to visit the chocolate factory; everyone
says it’s great. I had thought I might be able to become their European
representative and get them a big contract from Fortnum and Mason’s maybe. Or
at least be able to jump in a chocolate river, or make friends with an
umpa-lumpa. I did manage to stock up on Grenada chocolate though. So delicious,
it won’t last long.

So I will go to Trinidad for the summer. It’s an overnight
passage to Chagauramas. Trinity are too fast for me, I wouldn’t be able to keep
up with them, so I am going to buddy boat with Honey Rider. We will leave at
midnight on Sunday and hopefully arrive before it gets dark on Monday. At 5
knots it would take 16 hours, but we may be able to go quicker than that.
