ARRIVED GRENADA !!!

Ten months and one day from cutting the dock lines in Connecticut, and over 2,000 nautical miles under the keel, Persephone proudly sailed into Mt. Hartman Bay, Grenada.  Grenada is at the "bottom" of the eastern Caribbean, in the "little latitude" of 12 degrees north; only 720 miles from the equator.  Grenada is located south of the "normal" track for hurricanes, so Grenada will be "home" for the next four months.  I will only leave Grenada if a rogue hurricane threatens and a run has to be made further south to Trinidad or Venezuela.  Over the last year, Persephone has been pushed hard, and has arrived here without any damage, major repairs and no big issues (the biggest repair/issue was a $125.00 pump used to drain the shower).  Most of all, she has taken great care of all who have sailed aboard her. So, over the next several months time will be spent on washing/waxing and preventive maintenance in preparation for the next leg of the sailing lifestyle.....where ever that will take Team Persephone...
