Celebrate - To Tyrell Bay Anchorage with Fantastic Dives & Fun Restaurants on Carriacou Island, Officially Grenada

On a 30 mile passage to Tyrell Bay on March 11th we left Happy Hill at 9am and arrived at around 3pm to a huge, well-protected anchorage with many boats. A vendor named, Simon, visited our boat with live lobsters, wine and many offers to assist us. We did take a rustic island tour with him to see all sides of the island and a boat yard where wooden boats are still being built by hand. We had fun eating at the various restaurants on the beach, such as Cafe Iguana and the Slipway and also walking through the colorful little town. Charlie had a great diving trip with two fantastic dives, the first just outside the bay at the "Aquarium", which had a selection of new (to me) and different reef fish, sea horses, and a tiny crab looking like a daddy long legs spider. The second dive, at the famous "Sisters" was deeper and had schools of larger fish. We speared a few lion-fish and fed one to a moray eel. I dove with Richard of Lumba Dive and their dive-master intern so it was a very small, friendly group.
