Gra'inne is now in Summer Storage


We have the boat waxed and secured at Grenada Marine for another summer season.

We cleaned and waxed the hull, flushed all raw water systems (saltwater) with fresh water, cleaned all perishable foods or anything that had been opened off the boat, redid the interior teak with Daly's teak oil, washed all bedding and towels etc, changed the oil, oil filters, fuel fitlers on the main engine and generator, and applied a UV protectant to the deck topsides.

Lesley with one of the local "pot hounds". In the Bahamas they call them pot cakes. She's never found an animal she doesn't like. While we were in the yard today we even had a local come by and show us his pet "tortoise" . We had not seen this species anywhere but Mustique so they must be indigenous here as well. So we bought some local nutmeg and passed on the tortoise. The tortoise was looking for a new home!

We have a small amount of work to do tomorrow and then we are going to the beach. We are seriously tired tonight.
