Vulture strike

Yesterday we were headed to the Tropical Shipping office with our shipment when a Vulture flew up and hit our windshield. The vulture did not survive and neither did the windshield. We were both covered with small shards of glass but other than a good scare we were none the worse for wear! The window has been replaced and we are going to try again today.

The Barrels are full!

We finally finished shopping for the remaining items that we want to send back to Grenada and are now ready to take the barrels to the Seaport in Riveria Beach, FL. We've topped off the barrels with paperbacks and a few last minute additions and added desiccant to each barrel to help control moisture while in transit and temporary storage. The shipment has been booked with Tropical Shipping and Island Dream Yacht Services (in Grenada) will receive and store the shipment awaiting our return.

The paperwork process was fairly easy and Tropical Customer Service has been wonderful.

We finished loading the barrels in the truck this morning and will head to the East Coast of Florida on Monday morning. It is amazing how much stuff you can put into one of these barrels!

La Sagesse Nature Center, Grenada

As we prepare for our return to Grenada this November we have again made reservations at La Sagesse Nature Center. While we work on Gra'inne in the yard at Grenada Marine we love staying here. La Sagesse provides courtesy transportation to and from the boat yard and they have a great staff and restaurant.
