Still in Grenada

No big news here, we are getting parts in preparation to mount the two new solar panels between stanchions, one on each side.

Walking to "Budget marine" and "Tech Nicks" over the hills is not a bad hike, maybe 30 minutes, giving us a bit of a workout. The South end of Grenada is rather dry, but the Gardens are being kept beautifully.



We booked a guided land tour with "Cutty" on Thursday, he comes recommended by other cruisers. But he has to get more participants, right now we are the only ones who signed up. Update: More people signed up, so the tour should be a GO!

We are also looking closely at the weather, waves and winds. It looks like the night from Friday to Saturday is a good time to sail to Trinidad. Our parts arrive Friday in Trinidad and can be cleared through customs after the weekend.

We did sea trials & commissioning with the new, used autopilot computer and it works just fine. So one part of the autopilot system we have in spare now.

Wednesday is another shopping bus trip, don't need much, but we will join for the fun of it.
