Welcome to Grenada



Some boats of the World ARC 2014-15 fleet arrived earlier than planned on the spice island of Grenada and have started to make Port Louis Marina, on the doorstep of the capital Saint Georges their home. The participants are enjoying the luxurious facilities available at this Campers & Nicholson marina and are also very excited during this last stage of the rally. In previous stops, internet access has been difficult to obtain. In this marina, broadband internet is piped into a wifi router, sat on each of the boats! Never have the fleet been so well connected to share their updates with friend and families at home.

Boingo Alive is the first boat to arrive from the group which started from Fortaleza one week ago. The Swiss crew are expected to arrive in Port Louis Marina at first light tomorrow. The last boat is due in on Monday. The Grenada Tourism Authority generously offered fantastic welcome packs, complete with many local Grenadian products, to help welcome the World ARC fleet to the island. These baskets were presented to those already here with some local rum punches at an impromptu dockside party this afternoon. It was great to start having the World ARC fleet back together.

The planned programme kicks off next week with a variety of activities including a reception at the Grenada Yacht Club sponsored by members of Marine and Yachting Association of Grenada (MAYAG), an island tour planned by the Grenada Tourism Authority and a Prize Giving dinner at the Victory Bar & Restaurant. Until then, those who are here already will continue to welcome the later arrivals, whilst soaking up the excellent marina facilities and friendly Grenadian hospitality.
