Persephone and her crew (me) have settled into Grenada....and we are back in the groove of daily life. This year I have rented a mooring for the season instead of anchoring as I did last summer. The mooring is inexpensive by US standards ($60 US per MONTH) and saves wear and tear on my anchor and chain. Dennis (a Grenadian who does boat work in the Bay) installed 2 moorings, one for 'Silver Heels III' and one for 'Persephone'. We flipped a coin to determine which mooring which boat would take. I am very pleased with the location of my mooring, and I am seriously considering buying it from Dennis for future seasons. With that in mind, I have bought heavier chain to 'beef up' the mooring to withstand heavier winds and swells. Installing the heavier chain and thimbles on the mooring rode is tomorrow's scuba diving project. Mark from 'Liahona' (who arrived here yesterday) has agreed to help. Lately it seems all my scuba diving is 'work' dives and not dives for pleasure // sightseeing i.e. cleaning the bottom, replacing zincs on the prop shaft, covering the prop with a plastic bag to prevent sea growth etc....and helping out SH 3 by doing the same.
But don't think it has been all work......

A group from Switzerland performs as the sun sets...Icy beers are extracted
from coolers and apps passed from dinghy to dinghy... this was all
on the day Persephone arrived !! Made for a long one !! |
On Wednesday nights it's 'Hamburger Night" at Clarks Court Bay Marina....ground zero of where cruisers meet and socialize. There is a new band this season featuring a mix of island, raggae and socca music. Terrific !!
