Day 59 Grenada

12,02.56N  61,45.30W  We are in St George's town, Grenada. 
We left Scotland bay, Trinidad at 1am yesterday, this was to get 
as far as we could before the wind started blowing and made
 the sea rough, and also its safer at night. There have been 
a few instances of attacks on yachts from small speed boats. 
Not enough to confirm a problem but if we travel at night there 
is little chance of being found as they don't have radar on the 
small boats. It was a bumpy ride but we arrived safely and 
anchored in Prickly bay yesterday. Caught a huge Dorado 
and Wahoo on the way. Met the yachty's at the local 
outdoor bar, happy hour. There is an SA couple there, 
who have been away for 2yrs, lots of good info. 
This is a wonderful island. Its the heart of spices with nutmeg 
and cinnamon growing on the island. Very dry, they are on very 
strict water rations. There are 4 cruise ships here today. 
Off to Tobago keys tomorrow.
