We went on Tuesday night with our friends Gus and Terry on s/v Nino to the Cave House at Mt. Hartman Bay Resort. We met them when we got to Grenada in early December; among other things, Terry organizes cruiser participation in the Thursday cooking class at True Blue Resort with local chefs Omega and Esther, and often flips the burgers for the Wednesday Burger Night at Clarke's Court Bay Marina, two of my favorite Camp Grenada events. We caught up with them in St. Lucia in April, and then they beat us back to Grenada by a few days in May. The Cave House is in a lovely setting on Mt. Hartman Bay, not far from Secret Harbour Marina. The food and service are both excellent as well, and we got to see one of the rooms and it was quite nice, spacious, touches of luxury, very comfortable - and it was not the best room in the house. Those are some rooms that are right down on the beach. Here are two photos of us having drinks on the terrace before dinner, the first taken by JP, the second by Susan - so I am actually IN both of them, exceptionally.
Meanwhile, our friends Bob and Janice on s/v Tsamaya - we met them after the Great Swordfish Adventure last year in Trois Ilets, Martinique - have set off, just yesterday morning, from St. Martin/Sint Maarten, to cross the Atlantic. We are following them by position
and on a blog that they set up
Tsamaya Underway
They can't read comments until they get to their destination, but it is fun to follow along and enjoy a little vicarious living.
We are planning to hang around Grenada until Susan leaves on the 14th to attend a graduation party for her nieces; JP and I will probably try to head out overnight on the 14th, or perhaps even the day before, depending on what we see for weather. We are in a squally period; it may settle for a day or two at the end of this week, then will kick up again Sunday/Monday, and we may see some higher seas. It's not a very long passage - about 85 miles door to door, I think - but with south in the wind can be annoying. We (re) made the list of things that need to be done to de-commission the boat, so we need at least a few days at the dock and then another day or two once she is on the hard. JP and Susan did most of it in three days last summer, so with a week or more we should be fine.
