Goodbye Grenada

Image
  Wednesday 24 th November, Clarke's Court Marina, Grenada. Well it's two weeks to the day since we got Gráinne back in the water and we still haven't left the dock. It all started so well. I recovered from my jet lag and have become a human being again. Then we got through the big job of moving everything that Karl had spent months moving from the boat into the apartment back onto the boat again. Then a slightly nervous morning watching Gráinne being trailered through the boatyard by a tractor and gently refloated. Then the engine started first go (Karl's particularly proud of that one, he didn't stop talking about it for hours). And then we pulled up to the dock for a couple of days to get everything stowed away and get the sails back on. And it felt soooooo good to be back home again! And we had a little celebration and patted ourselves on our backs. Big mistake. Moving back aboard in the boatyard. Last minute finishing touches to the antifoul before splashing.
