Carriacou for Christmas

The trip to Prickly Bay, Grenada was interesting.
We departed Chaguaramas after doing the last bit of shopping at about 1650. Motoring through the Boca was quite rough and we had to slow down quite a lot. However, once we cleared the island the wind was steady and we hoisted sails with reefs and eventually shook them and were bulleting along nicely, at about 50 degrees to the NE wind. We spotted a few boats and ships and another vessel which we avoided as we couldn't make out what it was. Later, it turned out to be a rather large yacht that was hove-to (not moving) and it didn't have any navigation lights on.

We arrived at Prickly just at sunrise. Our plan was to check in as soon as possible, get some fuel and get up to Carriacou, where we would meet our friends on Shiloh and Khaya Moya.
We ended up staying the night and had a great pre-Christmas roast beef dinner and some drinks with friends from Trinni at the Tiki Bar

The next day we had a lovely sail up to Tyrrell Bay, Carriacou.
