After breakfast this morning, we hoisted anchor and moved about 6 miles around the tip of Grenada to True Blue Bay. It’s a quiet little anchorage surrounded by beautiful homes along one side and the medical school along the other. We also are at one end of the airport although the only time large planes take off is early in the morning or late in the evening.

After we anchored in about 14’ of water, I set up the hammock and proceeded to settle in. My initial impression was how quiet the anchorage was but by early afternoon I realized the reason it was so quiet was because all of the charter boats that surround us are empty. We are literally the only cruiser in this harbor. We’ve got the place to ourselves!!

We had anticipated meeting up with Wayfinder and Indigo Moon after lunch but Wayfinder didn’t make it out of the yard until almost 4 pm. At that point they elected to stay where they were in the next harbor over, so we lowered the dinghy and went to visit them. Thankfully, Killian, one of their little dogs is doing better (they had left us abruptly in Tobago Cays when she became very ill. They made a bee line for the veterinary hospital here). They have 3 older dogs traveling with them which they both seem extremely attached to.

Next week is Indigo Moon’s turn in the yard. We plan to stick around here with them. As we’ve said before, we’re in no hurry to get to Trinidad as we’ll spend enough time there while we wait out the hurricane season. In any event, we’ll keep a sharp eye out for tropical storms heading in our direction; so far nothing. If one should appear, we are within a day’s journey from Trinidad and points south.

We had an enjoyable meal at the True Blue Yacht Club this evening; expensive but good food. According to Sara, the expense of the food has been what she’s noticed the most over the past week that they have been here.

We plan on touring the island with Wayfinder and Indigo Moon early next week as Monday is a holiday here.
