Another season begins -- a bit late

JP and Susan arrived in Grenada January 5 to retrieve Raconteur and reassure her that she had not been permanently abandoned.  Spice Island Marine and Island Dreams had taken good care of her, so Monday morning was not much of a shock (always horrific to see her totally dismantled, even though we left her that way last May).  We both feel we became totally soft on shore and are now painfully readjusting.  In a strange pattern for the dry season, it has rained about 25 times in the first 48 hours here.  But we have surrendered once again to being dirty, sweaty and wet most of the time, so it is not too bad - just a bit of scurrying now and then.  Do we have an umbrella?  No idea!  Thanks to Da Big Fish and the Dodgy Dock, we have had our first callaloo soup, pumpkin soup, cheeseburger in Paradise and Ting already.  Photos were taken on the phone and will be posted if they are not too ugly.  As we've experienced before, there's a feeling of coming home on returning to Grenada.
