We first stopped in the capital of Carriacou, Hillsborough. Our friends on bord Songbird were there first, anchored on the left side of the main dock...we anchored near by...soon discovering that there were several boulders on the sandy ground around which our anchor threatened to get stucked. A couple of streching manouevers soon got us disentangled... Songbird's chain, however, was stucked around boulders and around a cement block ..it took Bill, Heiner and Pam several hours of work, under and abover water, to disentangle the mess.




La Buena Vida, on the other hand, was not "stucked enough" ...and we began to drag "puffed away" by one of those typical Hillsborough 30 knots wind gust ..we reanchored the other side of the dock, in a nice sandy bottom and had a quiet night!
