She of Little Willpower




I have to start out by saying that it would be dull if I posted photos of us working, which consumes most of our time. These are the highlights of what happens the rest of the time!



Our neighbours on the dock have two sons. One is aspiring to be a bartender so we got to test his product this week. Impressive presentation and tasty too!





Also stopped to visit Michael, The Pan Man who makes steel pan drums by hand. The boys next door are taking lessons.




























A hike to the beach again this morning. Due to space restraints I told myself I'd only pick up blue glass or anything really skookum....Didn't work - how can I leave those little gems behind? Photos of things I can't take 'home': This photo is a beautiful crab shell. It is almond season so the beach was covered in shiny red almond 'pods'.

Too hot for Art? ARt who?

Turns out that one other person is reading my blog (thanks BFB!)! So now I feel I should post something new. :-)

The days in Grenada are flying by now, with long lists of work to be done on the boat and a few leisure to-do's. I haven't been to one of the many waterfalls here yet. Been so busy that I haven't done any journaling either. (photo:uninspired stalled page)

Saturday night we went out for dinner on the lightship Vastra Banken at Le Phare Bleu marina. We'd been there in June and it was fantastic. This time was no different. Mark, the chef, does an amazing job and the service is excellent!

Took the dinghy around to Grand Anse Beach. Gorgeous! Long empty beach of superfine sand; warm turquoise water. (Sorry!)

Noteworthy in the "work" department this week: I winched Michel up the 100 ft mast so he could clean, inspect, de-rust. Always great photos from up there.

Morning walk & beachcombing














I had to hike over the hill for my reward of walking on the beach. The beach has changed but there is still a LOT of seaglass!
I have a problem. :-)
