After a 23 hour passage from Rodney Bay St Lucia we arrived here in Port Louis at St George Grenada yesterday afternoon quite exhausted; doing 3 hour alternating watches is hard and with only one day there is no time to acclimatise.

The Marina here is nice but a bit quiet, we're moored berthed amongst the Moorings charter boats which are nearly all empty.  It will probably liven up after Christmas.  Disappointingly we are too far from the Marina office to pick up the WIFI from the boat so we are still confined to the internet through the mobile phone which whilst quicker than St Lucia is still painfully slow - so no photos yet.

We enjoyed our stint doing ARC Finish Line duties and we made friends with Chris and Penny on Karma Daze and Harold and Christel on Sophie.  We all got a big round of applause and a bottle of rum at the ARC prizegiving event.

Our stowaway lizard is still with us after travelling more than 300 miles in sometimes tough conditions although we think it does look thinner.

We are looking forward to exploring the island and after our 10 day stay here we will anchor in the various bays around the island.  In the meantime we wish everybody a happy Christmas and sorry if we haven't been in touch, we'll catch up when we can.
