Geo: 14.4721, -60.8697After bringing in the New Year with a BANG! in Bequia (literally), we sailed up to Martinique to take care of the repair work. For those who haven't heard, we were hit by a 57 foot charter boat while we were sitting at anchor in Bequia. We were lucky to have been hit by such a large boat. The damage was localized to our teak toe rail, and the fibreglass deck at the point of impact. The charter company covered the repairs, and gave us a dock to stay on for the two weeks while we were there. We made the best of a bad situation. We used the time to explore Le Marin more so that we would have if we had been anchored out. It's not often that Inspiration is on a ... read more

Central America Caribbean » Grenada November 21st 2016

Geo: 12.0096, -61.7315We made it back to Grenada safe and sound after a very long day of travel. The bright Super moon played a significant role in helping us find a ladder upon arrival. We are in the boatyard for ten days before we splash - which is ok because it is so hot here that we can't work more than a few hours per day. In our first week here we probably lost 3 pounds each due to excessive sweating. We are drinking water and Gatorade in excess to rehydrate! Life on the hard sure ain't glamorous! Upon arrival, we had no fresh food aboard, so we ate food that the "lunch ladies" serve out of their car at the boatyard gate. Turned out, there was also a small garden market that comes to the ... read more

Geo: 12.1279, -61.68We made it! Made it to Grenada. This was one of our cruising goals accomplished. We had made our haul out reservation back in Dominica, and had to rush a whole lot more than we prefer, but we arrived in Grenada six days before our Haul Out date. Back when we first set out on this adventure, we had to chose a route to take. Option #1 was Bahamas, TCI, Cuba, Mexico, Belize, with a final goal of Guatemala. Option #2 was the route we chose, taking us to Grenada. It took us three years to make it, but we did. Will we continue cruising? Yes. Absolutely. Will we try to do the route we didn't take? Maybe someday. But not this year. The trip from Carriacou to Grenada was another rough one. We ... read more

Geo: 12.4768, -61.4534With our haul out date approaching, we sailed through the Grenadines much faster than we would have liked, but it was reassuring to know that our next cruising season would start in this area. We jumped from Bequia to Canouan to Carriacou. Canouan was only an overnight anchoring stop. Once in Carriacou, which is part of Grenada, we checked in feeling a sense of relief that we only had one final leg to get us to our 2016 cruising goal: The island of Grenada.We stayed in Carriacou for a few days at two different anchorages. We checked in at the larger town of Hillsborough, not realizing that the more popular cruiser's bay, Tyrell Bay, was also a check-in point. Apparently this was new, and our 2016 guide was not up-to-date! Anyways, in my opinion, ... read more
