We are well and truly in the Caribbean. It is peaceful, the people are very friendly and the food is reasonable here. No loud music is tearing through the night, we are in a pretty hurricane safe area and the water in the anchorage is also pretty clear. I believe we can stick it out here easy for a couple of months or to the end of hurricane season. Grenada is also known as the spice Island and there are lots of things to see and do. Did you know that Grenada is the largest nutmeg producer in the Western Hemisphere? Due to its moderate tropical clim

s, but as you all know the alcohol side of the Caribbean is not really my department; I leave that to Sven. What I am really looking forward to is to discover, explore and experience all the different kind of fresh spices on offer, especially the chocolate plantations. Grenada cocoa is unique and amazing. The fertile volcanic soil produces flourishing cocoa estates in the lush mountainous landscape. The cocoa beans are supposed to be of a high quality, deep aromatic, fruity, flowery incense. So we will see and learn and deepen our knowledge about cocoa trees and how they grow and how the powder is extracted out of the seeds. Grenada is the southernmost of the Windward Islands and lies only 90 miles north of Trinidad.
