Almost as good as having guests
I once wrote a rant about the VHF radio dialogue that went on in Georgetown, Exuma. After the logic was explained to me by a couple of our readers, it made perfect sense and in truth, I felt a bit silly for even writing the post. Each morning, following the seemingly never-ending radio net that goes on here in Grenada, I now find myself wishing that all of the cruisers here understood the method of more easily finding a free channel to converse. It would sure eliminate a good portion of the radio traffic. Feel free to review the post I just linked, and the comments which follow it to figure out what I’m referring to.
At some point in the past I may also have written about how one of the side benefits of having guests come to visit is that they can bring with them in their luggage a selection of items that are more easily acquired in North America than they are in the islands. Well, second only to that scenario is having a good boating buddy go home for a visit and then bring you some stuff back in his/her luggage. Fortunately for us, we have a very good friend who did exactly that. Donna from Ainulindale, who traveled back to the US for a wedding, arrived back in Hog Island last evening with a plethora of stuff for us. Did someone say Christmas in July?
Kryptonite, eh?
That and some 10mm stainless chain are making our dinghy look less and less like a target for would be thieves. There are much easier tenders to steal than ours now!
A belated Happy Canada (Dominion) Day to you two and all my fellow Canucks!
Happy Independence day to all my fellow Yanks too!!
And to you as well, Michael. We had fun celebrating those two holidays here in Grenada.
What is the black thing in the middle of that pic that looks like a large gun holster. Sawn off shot-gun size???

Perhaps we should just let any would-be thieves reading this blog think that it is a holster for a sawed-off shotgun. 😉
Looks like a few new bikinis in that pile!!!!
One or two. 😉
