Lay up in Grenada

We finally completed the thorny upwind path to Grenada visiting briefly in St. Maarten and St Lucia.  The rest of the Caribbean we saw only from the anchorages in passing.  There were some rough patches in the passages between islands where there are various cape effects that can double the wind and waves.  Exciting times.

But we did it!  Gypsy Queen is now resting on the hard at Spice Island boat yard, all laid up for a long season of lonely times.  We will see her again this fall, flying back to Grenada in October or November.
