Last year we sailed in and around the British Virgins so, this year we will
be island hopping and exploring in and around the Grenadines. We will start
by spending the first night onboard the boat in Tru Blu bay, next to the airport
and Prickly Bay. After organizing the cat the next morning, we set sail for
the crossing between the Grenadines and Grenada (sailing up the West coast),
which is enlivened by a small group of uninhabited and wild islands on of
which, Ronde Island, offers a good anchorage in Corn Store Bay. If there is
a place where you can feel the urge to shove around for treasures, this is
it. There is also a submarine volcano in activity around this group, funnily
named Kick'em Jenny.
Day 1
A short sail to Secret Harbour or Hog Island for a day of water sports or
hire a car and tour the Island. Drive up to Concord Falls and hike up to the
upper falls for a swim or just drive through the forest and countryside. Stop
at Crater Lake and take a short hike into the rain forest then on to Grand
Etang Lake. Shop at some local markets or take a tour around the nutmeg factory.
Grenada is known as "The Spice Island!"
Day 2
Take the long leisurely sail along the leeward coast of Grenada. In the afternoon
we could anchor close to the Mount Saint Catherine, which is a stratovolcano
and the highest mountain on Grenada. It is located in St. Mark's, Victoria.
It is the youngest of five volcanoes which comprise the island. The volcano
has a horseshoe-shaped crater open to the east, with several lava domes within
it. Guides from Victoria are ready and able to take visitors to the top of
the mountain or even to the Tufton Hall Waterfall for a look at the largest
waterfall on the island.
Day 3
After a hearty breakfast we set sail to Carriacou an Island with rolling hills
and exquisite water colors. Snorkeling is endless and the waters are teaming
with fish. Glossy hill is a good dive site for Sting rays, sharks and turtles.
Great hiking ashore, look out for the donkeys and goats! Windsurfing is good
here with calm protected waters and not many other boats around. Enjoy an
elegant dinner and maybe a night snorkel to see the lobster and crabs.
On Aug 4,5, and 6 we will have a Full Moon to howl at................................
Day 4 After a breakfast of local breads and tropical fruits enjoy a short sail to Chatham Bay on Union Island. With its dramatically mountainous outline Union Island stands out from afar, like the Rock of Gibralter or some Pirate movie backdrop. After lunch explore ashore. Chatham Bay offers a lovely deserted beach and beautiful shoreline perfect for those Kodak moments, as this spot attracts all kinds of bird life.
Day 5
We could sail to Palm Island. Swim ashore on Casuarina beach a gorgeous, picture-perfect
Grenadine beach. After lunch sail to Petit St.Vincent. Take the helm, trim
the sails or just lay out on the trampolines and work on that tan. Petit St.
Vincent is a gorgeous very small Island with good reefs for snorkeling. A
comfortable reef dive off Pinese, offers the opportunity to see Sting Rays,
Turtles, reef fish and Garden eels. After another enjoyable feast of fresh
fish and local exotic fruits have a drink ashore and see if you can get the
parrots to talk to you. Petit St.Vincent has a very exclusive and quiet resort
ashore with some quaint customs attached to it.
Day 6
A short Sail to Mayreau in the morning offers another island to explore. Climb
to the top of Mayeau and enjoy the magnificent views of the Tobago Cays. Snorkel
on the reef from Grand Col Point. For hikers a walk from Saline Bay along
the salt ponds brings you to some pristine beaches. Spend the night at Salt
Whistle bay and enjoy a majestic sunset with cocktail in hand. After dinner
dance under the stars to some reggae music.
Day 7
Sail to the Tobago Cays and snorkel till you drop, the horseshoe reef is endless.
The Tobago Cays offer excellent diving {mostly drift dives}over the horseshoe
reef. I have heard about the diving here for years!
Day 8
Today it’s time to set the sails and head for Mustique. Tour by foot,
taxi or horse back ride past the homes of the rich and famous. Shopping is
very exclusive and charming here. Visit the uncrowded beaches of Macaroni
Bay and Sandy Bay. Enjoy afternoon tea at the Cotton House and imagine you
have stepped back in time.. For divers there is the wreck of the Jonas a 90
foot dredger which lies in 40 feet or drift dive at the Pillaries a steep
slope which drops from 20 feet to 90 feet, large soft corals, reef fish, nurse
sharks and barracudas abound. Enjoy cocktails at ‘Basil’s Bar’,
you never know who you might meet! Mystique is home to many famous rock stars
who like to jam at Basils. Enjoy a romantic dinner under the stars on board
to paint a picture in yourr minds eye because, we only have a day and a half
left!
Day 9
I would personally like to sail to Bequia and see traditional boat building.
However, we need to remember that the boat must be back to Grenada by noon
on day 10, so the most exhilarating, fastest and smoothest sail awaits us
on the downwind leg.
