Grenada

[Val]

We arrived in Grenada 2 weeks ago and have been busy tracking down and fixing our gremlins. To date we have ordered our new jib, and finally have the freezer working again. Nutmeg icecream all round! One of the first things we look for on arrival...Grenada is the only place you will find nutmeg icecream, fantastic! We are presently on the lookout for some engine parts, a never ending battle no matter what island you are on. Sad to say Grenada is following suit with many of the other islands and is now charging a monthly cruising permit fee. Anyone interested in further info can drop me a line. So far the hurricanes have been kind enough to head off north fairly early in their treks westward. Our main concern at the moment is Dengue Fever. There is an awful lot of it about at the moment and the deluge of rain is greatly contributing to the situation. Keeping our fingers crossed we get missed by this bout. Apparently the DR is suffering through an epidemic of it. Very widely spread this year. Will post a few pictures from our trip down shortly. Dependent of course on whether the internet decides to allow the upload.
