s v Tsamaya

Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal. It's time to sell the house, get rid of whatever doesn't fit on our 40 foot Caliber LRC named Tsamaya (this means Travel Well in Setswana) and set off to see the world.

Dominoes

It is a common sight to see a table with guys playing a game of dominoes. It is very popular in the islands.

Mangoes for breakfast

This goes to show mangoes go with everything! Bob made a great breakfast which included mangoes on the side.

Flaming tree

The flaming tree at the school at Tyrrel Bay was impressive

View from the hill

We had lots of great views from our hike at Tyrrel Bay

Our tortoise friend

We had two different tortoises walk across our path while hiking at Tyrrel Bay.

Protected Oyster Beds

A view from our hike looking toward the mangroves where the oysters grow at Tyrrel Bay. This is now a protected area

Pastel makes you smile

We always enjoy seeing the various pastel colors used for the homes.

Is there a little one onboard?

Gee, what do you guess? Do you think they have young ones on board this sailboat? Lots of stuffed animals were hanging on this line.

Sunrise at Tyrrel Bay

One of our last views of Tyrrel Bay was the sunrise coming over the island.

A great landmark

This island is called Isle de Ronde which is located at the north end of Grenada.

Kick Em Jenny

Note that the circle marks the location of the underwater volcano called “Kick Em Jenny”. We are on the far side of our rhumb line from it so definitely in a safe zone.

Happy 4th of July
Bob & Janice, Marti and I have visited Grenada a couple times in the recent past and it is a very nice place. Good to be getting south for the hurricane season. We are going kayaking today, not the same as cruising but on the water anyway. Paul

Grenada
We went to an Oil Down, I think that's what they called it) on Hog Island. It was a huge plate of mystery meat and mystery veggies. I think they were planning a resort on the island. Has anything come of that?
