Sorry to leave you all hanging for so long.  After we left Rhonde island, we headed to Molinère Point, the underwater sculpture garden off of Grenada (click the link to see pics), we grabbed a mooring ball (no anchoring) and enjoyed the entertainment of watching the charter boats come in and try to grab their ball.  We did not motivate to actually snorkel the gardens again, but rather just relaxed on the deck, watched the sunset, and sipped on a drink (or three).  This usually is a pretty isolated area as not many people know about the garden as there are no signs, no mention in the guide books, and no indicators that there is a spectacular underwater treasure just below you.  But, this evening we shared our special spot with 2 other boats.

Matt decided it was time for a little fun so he rigged a super cool swing using our fender tied to our jib.  It took “wrecking ball” to an entirely new level.  Despite the fact that Matt had to help me up onto the ball–I had a blast!

Last Bar Before the Jungle

Wayne, Jamie and I arrived to a sparkly clean boat and a very dirty Matt!  He had been working on boat projects and intended on showering before we arrived but the showers at the marina were closed due to “cleaning” for over 2 hours (evidently boat people are dirty).

He eventually got cleaned up while I unpacked and made the boat more presentable. We hit some yummy Roti and ribs for dinner and Jamie had shrimp and rice. Of course Pitons (beer) and Shandi (Christine’s beverage w/ 1.5% alcohol) were in order.

Headed back to boat where Matt and Wayne decided to make Merry until the wee hours of the night making what we lovingly refer to as “Donald drinks”.

It made for a late start on Sunday but after some last minute boat projects–Wayne and Jamie were still out so Matt and I cleared out of St Lucia, settled up at the marina and got some pastries for the sleepy heads.

After everyone was up we headed to the large and plentiful IGA grocery store–by dingy. Such a great store in the islands!!  $1800+ later (EC not US) and we pushed our two shopping carts down the road to the dingy dock.  Not something you’d see in the states.

After unloading and putting away our stash we cast away the lines and Sugar Shack motored away to Soufferie a small town between the Pitons.

A short 3 hour jaunt around the island and we met up with “One Love” our boat boy to help with the moorings.

Kicked back and watched the gorgeous sunset. Matt made kicken chicken and mango rice with salad.

Perfect healing.  Internet is weak. Photos to come soon
