First we had volcanic ash from Montserrat while up north, then after arriving in Grenada about a week ago we anchored off Calvigny Island, southern Grenada. What, more dust? This time it is wind blown dust from the Sahara.
Dust on our sheets (ropes for you land lubbers), sail covers, and overhead hatch screens.
We've finally gotten a few showers and most of the dust ended up on deck as a nice dark red gooey looking mess.
We were able to wash the boat pretty thoroughly on our way here from Carriacou during two very heavy down pours but after only a week here, red mud.....
I've talked with several locals about the dust and was informed that the dust was airborne all the way from the Sahara. Apparently the local news reported on the ongoing dust arrival.
