Eh oui, Moana est maintenant à Grenade; France et Guy sont arrivés à la marina Clarkes Court Bay après avoir contourné la pointe sud de l'île de Grenade "dans une machine à laver" - courant vs: vagues d'une dizaine de pieds et vent jusqu'à 23 noeuds. Tout s'est bien passé et le propriétaire de la marina ainsi que Garry de Chateau sont allés à leur rencontre pour leur souhaiter la bienvenue. Ils ont accosté à 17 heures - tapis rouge et champagne; toute la fatigue est disparue... Souper avec leurs amis Nicole et Garry qu'ils étaient très heureux de retrouver. Les jours qui suivront seront consacrés à la visite de l'île et au repos - Enfin, suffisamment au sud pour la saison des ouragans, ils pourront prendre le temps. Message de France et Guy suivra ... read more

5-20 Hotel: Best Western South Plaza, Grand Anse, Grenada, $105 Flight: St Vincent (SVD) to Grenada (GND), LIAT The flight to Grenada was pretty quick; too bad it was at night as you could not see the Grenadines below. Scott got off the plane for a minute just to say he touched Grenada then got back on to continue to Trinidad, where I would be meeting them the next evening. I caught a cab (40EC) into Grand Anse town, there were many more tourists here than in St Vincent! It was already after 9PM when I had a quick dinner of Grenadian jerk pork which was quite spicy! There was a group of Venezuelans sitting at the table next to mine. Grenada (yes, the place Reagan invaded) was hit pretty hard by hurricane Ivan back ... read more

Grenada is a small island in the southern Caribbean situated one hundred miles north of Venezuela with a population of just over 100,000. We brought with us stylish wigs & costumes for the various games which would prove invaluable. Not only did they act as a c... read more

Well some of us made it to TV3 news if anyone was watching the day after the cricket. Dan and Ron are making some very switched on statements towards the end of this clip about the cricket result, they are the two drunks in black singlets. I think the rest of us may be visible walking past in the background when the two beige brigaders are being interviewed but cant get a high enough resolution screen here to check it out properly. If you missed it heres the link: http://www.tv3.co.nz/Home/Video/Display/tabid/266/articleID/25535/Default.aspx?src=email#vidlist25535 cheers to dan's family for pointing it out and his mate at TV3 for making it happen :) three days left in grenada, the boys have hired scooters today and are doing the island that way and the girls have just all had 1/2 hour swedish ... read more

Sorry that we have been MIA for so long but since hitting grenada about 10 days ago we have been pretty busy catching some rays, sailing our yacht and meeting all of the men on the island. Odds here are ridiculous. It seems there arent a lot of single girls making the trip to the cricket world cup. Fools. We have just had the best day sailing our yacht the Moana Roa and we say goodbye to the yacht tomorrow when we check into some accommo on Grand Anse Beach. Thought you guys would like to know the level of fever pitch we have reached for tomorrow's game, particularly after we have made mates with most of the island already, including the black caps. Lets just say watching cricket will never be the same again. Had ... read more
