It’s Splash Day Again here in Grenada and boy are we glad!  Ron sweet talked the marina office and got our launch date moved up from November 3^rd to today and I don’t know how but I think a few other boats didn’t get their work completed and we just got plain old lucky!  This is good for reason #2 which is our Airbnb runs out today as well and if we couldn’t get launch…we were staying on the boat, on the hard, without air conditioning which I was less than interested in doing. 

It’s been a busy day since last minute we also found out we needed a survey for insurance!  Sailing hubby found the only surveyor on the island and somehow got him scheduled to do our survey the morning of our launch so we didn’t have to pay to get hauled out again.  Once again…lucky!  Even better is that our survey went great, our boat is valued $80K more than we bought it for with all the upgrades and improvements, and it is completely dry inside and out.  He also did a moisture measurement on the hull which is 100% dry and that is pretty rare.  Anyhoo…by late afternoon we were surveyed, launched and docked for the night!   Whew!

But now we are submissive to the weather again and it says our only weather window to go south to Grenada is tomorrow morning so there will be no moss growing under our feet. After a bumpy maiden voyage to kick off season #4, we had tested her out, and are moving along once again. The end of the day brought is to a very nice marina (Le Phare Bleu), with air conditioning once again to more thoughtfully clean and organize the boat. Only one snag along the way, (because there is always something to fix), was the fridge stopped working. Good thing I have a very crafty husband who diagnosed the issue – a dead fan – and he was able to get it fixed so we didn’t loose any food to spoilage.

We are now sitting enjoying a bucket of Stag beers with real vegetarian food at the lovely marina restaurant!  Yeah – finally!  Oh, and it now Halloween.  Trick or treat from the tropics 😊.
