Today was "administration day"...when you cruise, it means that you spend quite a bit of time checking out of an area (St Vincent and The Grenadines) and checking in another (Grenada)...and shopping and carrying garbages out. We had an enjoyable check out experience in Union Island - the staff was quite bored because there are so few cruisers at this time of the year - and we took the opportunity to chat with them about the upcoming referendum (November 25th) and the politics of the island. We sailed another 6 miles to Carriacou and checked in Grenada...after a beautiful sail. We encouraged the local economy bu shopping and having a couple fo beers at the beach Bar (Snug's) named after Cuthberth Snug, the owner: an aboslutely charming man. Good luck with your business Cuthberth!

Congratulations Heinz and Marleyne on being back on the water, it must be amazing! I just lifted Furling Around out for the winter, well actually for 3 years as I am moving to Germany for work. I will be back each year to check up on her and see friends. Love the blog, it keeps me dreaming! Fair winds and following seas!
