Secret Harbour

On the south side of Grenada there are lots of little Bays where you can anchor and spend the hurricane season. Quite a few people change their location once a week to see something different and to meet other people. Every little Bay is offering lots of different entertainment for the cruisers throughout the week and the transportation system works really well here. We are based in Prickley Bay and will stay here until we have completed our survey and sea trial on the 15th of October. From Prickley Bay you can walk to the True Blue Marina, the Secret Harbour, even walking to the Spice Mall Shopping Center is not a big deal if your timing is right. Walking to the Spice Mall during lunch time can be a bit of hot and sweaty exercise. Prickley Bay is offering musical entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays and Yoga three times a week, the vegetable van is coming on Mondays and Budget marine is opposite the “De Big Fish”. True Blue Marina is also offering Yoga classes and is very well known for their cooking classes on Thursday. It is a beautiful Marina with a restaurant, playground and swimming pool for the children. We might go to one of those cooking classes in the next couple of weeks. Clarks Court Bay has got their peaceful and beautiful Whisper Cove Marina with their jam session, Butcher shop, movie nights and Petanque games on a Sunday. You have also got Hog Island, which s privately owned but has got a beautiful swimming beach and is popular for their Sunday BBQ’s. There is also Phare Bleu Bay, Chemin Bay, Westerhall Bay, Little Bacolet Bay and St. David’s Harbour just to name a few, so if you get bored of one sight you just lift the anchor and motor to the next Bay for a while. Today we went over to Mt. Hartman Bay to participate in their Volley Ball game. We packed our Backpack and picked Jan and Susan up from SV “Peter Pan” and made our way over there. It was a pleasant 15 minute walk and it was nice to explore the neighborhood of Prickley Bay. In Mt. Hartman Bay you have got tucked away Secret Harbour and they also offer Yoga classes, movie nights, Domino afternoons and Volleyball matches; one Bay against the next or a good mix of adults, teens, and children alike. Apart from being eaten nearly alive by the sand flies and mosquitoes; we had a lots of fun that afternoon and enjoyed the company and the atmosphere of the Secret Harbour community very much!
