Ok - people have been asking
Well now by overwelming demand (at least two emails from interested parties - thanks Silke and Ashley) and the purchase of a new internet antennae, I am back blogging. There is so much to say and so much to show that it is now a major task to get people up to date but let me start with where we are: Clarke's Court Bay, Grenada, just down river from the rum distillery (go figure how I ended up here....)

We have been in Grenada for about a week staying St David's first and then moving closer to the action here in Clarke's Court.
To say action is a bit of an understatement as things seem to happen daily (or more often) here in the hurricane season, although today it was all work getting our internet to play with us instead of going to the 4:30 happy hour in the next bay. Tomorrow night we have to work on the boat for a while and then will be out for dinner, followed on Thursday by an island tour, Friday should be a quiet one followed by a Carnivale warm up on Saturday night at Le Phare BLeu Marina - just around the corner - should be an intersting night.
Tomorrow the bay will get a little bit more crowded with Steve and Helen from Dignity arriving on their 420 to condition their batteries (and no doubt they will blame the Aussies (Karen, Robert and Trish www.BristolRose.blogspot.com ) for hangovers as they have in the past http://aboarddignity.com/blog/?p=1351 http://aboarddignity.com/blog/?p=1429 - this probably goes back to when the pommies blamed us for missing loaves of bread and shipped us out to heaven on sailing boats and are now just a little bit jealous of where we ended up.
We have been travelling off and on and close or not so close with these guys (Steve & Helen and Robert & Trish) since St Lucia and Martinique as well as a number of other interesting people as everyone heads south to get out of the path of the pending hurricanes. We have also been in touch with Bill from Spangle who we met in Las Palmas almost 18 months ago and is now in the Prickley Bay. No doubt there will be more socializingin the coming weeks before we head west to the Venezuelan Islands, the ABC's (Dutch Antilles) and onto Columbia - but more about that later.
Sorry this has taken so long to write but will try to backfill and keep it up to date as we move on
