| One of the best things about limim' is watching the boats come and go. Not all are as magnificent as this 478' mega-yacht, supposedly owned by the founder of Oracle. |
 |
| Not sure what the story is on this J-Class boat but she was a beauty. Look at the size of that mast. |
 |
| This place combines the best of both worlds, Cafe Mocha Spokes. A coffee shop and bike hangout close to St. George University. A great place to chill out with a latte. |
 |
| And of course, there is dominoes. The version they play here is Grenadian Train Dominoes. This particular day was a fund raiser hosted by Cruisers Against Cancer. With over 50 players participating and a well stocked raffle, over $2,000 was raised. |
 |
| One of the most amazing things about cruising is the people you meet along the way. When I was in the states I responded to a Facebook post from a lady in Grenada who asked any stateside cruisers to bring something back for her from Home Depot. I did and we arranged to meet for the exchange. Turns out that Connie lived across the dock from us 35 years ago, when we were first married and living on our 23' Alberg! What a memory.! So great catching up with her and comparing our paths along the way. |
 |
| While at our Whisper Cove anchorage I recognized a familiar boat, Voyager. Turns out our friends, Deb and John, were aboard. I originally met them at Curtis Marina, in Tavernier, when I first moved to the Keys. They had taken off to go cruising about a year later! We enjoyed reconnecting and renewing our friendship. |
 |
| Opti also enjoys the limin' life. Duck is still her toy of choice and she still enjoys chasing her around the boat. Even though she is almost 13, she still enjoys running around the boat and her daily swims. And to think we considered not taking her with us! |
 |
| Pretzel rods. Who knew they are next to impossible to find in the Caribbean? Who knew they were both Opti and Jon's favorite treat? Who knew I would be smuggling bags back from the US every time I went to visit? At least Jon is willing to share with Opti. |
 |
| Time for a walk. Opti has a little stubborn streak in her so Jon has to get in the dinghy and convince her it is worth her while to jump blindly into the inflatable. |
 |
| But once she is there she loves to hang over the bow. I guess it's the cruiser dog version of hanging your head out of the car window! |
  |
| I guess I should be excited when Jon brings me a conch. Cleaning one is not near as easy as the locals make it look. I don't complain (too much) because the results are always so tasty! |
 |
| As part of the Grenada Chocolate Festival we enjoyed yoga and chocolate meditation at the local resort. The free samples of chocolate and cocoa tea made the yoga worthwhile! |
 |
| Not to mention the view! |
 |
| Of course, the view from the boat is pretty amazing as well! |
 |
| What's not to love about Grenada? They even have their own craft beer at West Indies Brewery. |
 |
| Once there, we had to try a taste of everything... Well, not quite! Guess we will have to return for the rest of the brews! |
