Notes from 1)the log of the Hunter 410 "Raconteur" which sailed from Kent Island, Maryland to Trinidad from 2010-2022 and returned by carrier to New England where she awaits new adventures and 2) the occasional voyages of the Mainship 30 Pilot II "Third Flight", acquired to motor (!) around Southern Florida, keeping Captain JP and First Mate Susan in boat projects.

A northern tour
We left Raconteur on Friday and headed first to the east coast (the Mt. Carmel waterfall and the town of Grenville) and then north to stay two nights at a place called Almost Paradise. It's a B&B (though they cook dinner too, on request) run by Canadian Kate and German Uwe; they have had the place about nine years, and it's really an amazing spot. They have a number of cottages, plus a bar/eating porch, that perch above the northern coast with spectacular views to the small islands and then to Carriacou. Lovely people, very comfortable "eco" style accommodations, and just the right spot for a cruising crew looking for a touring base.
We took the usual TOO MANY photos, since we also drove around on Saturday and stopped at a couple of places on the way back south on Sunday as well.
Today I am doing a little cooking (we got two lobster tails from the local guys right before we left on Saturday, and I am finally going to make my peanut-sesame noodles to go with them), Susan is reading and JP is taking advantage of our good Internet connection to do some work, though he keeps threatening to take the car off on a few errands as well.
Tomorrow or Wednesday we will go back on the hook; it was good to have her safe and sound in the marina while we made our tour, but I miss swimming from the transom.
