Misto - March 28-April 4 2019: Good to be back in the Caribbean

From Port Louis marina we went around the south of Grenada to Grenada Marine services to get some work done on the engines, fuel and generator. We spent three nights there and got most of the hoped for work completed.

We decided to give the anchorages on the south of Grenada a miss as they seemed too full of boats and made our way to Sandy Island. This spit of sand and palm trees is just off Hillsborough the main town on Carriocou. It was a windy sail from Grenada to the island of Carriocou with wind “bullets” coming down off the land and gusting up to 26 knots. The wind was kicking up a bit of a fetch but we stayed two nights on a mooring here at Sandy Island before going around the Tyrell Bay. Here we enjoyed a great meal at Lambi Queen, took a taxi tour around the island and tried to redeem our Digicel vouchers that were part of our prize. The latter was not completely successful!

From here we went to Union Island in the Grenadines. The mooring field in Clifton Bay was quite rough as the wind picked up to over 20 knots so it made for a bit of a bumpy night. The town was much as we remembered it with lots of good produce stalls and a good Caribbean vibe. From here it was up to Mayreau and as it was rather windy we opted for a night in Saline Bay and today in Saltwhistle. Tomorrow we will venture around to the Tobago Keys which are quite open to the wind but it will have died down quite a bit.

Last night we enjoyed the company of Emily Morgan, Pretaixte and Timshel for Happy Hour on Misto. Tonight we are feasting off lobster on the beach - despite the fact that squalls keep coming over! We are enjoying chilling, liming and drinking rum punch and Carib beer!
