Time to Leave Port

As I sit and type this I am smelling Ron’s fresh bread baking and Gramma, Jenessa & Alex are at a great little beach called Pirate’s Bay. As soon as the last of the bread is out of the oven, Ron and I will head into Charlotteville to clear Customs and Immigration. We are planning on leaving early evening to head for Union Island. Gramma’s mouth has been watering ever since she read about the fresh croissants and other wonderful foods there and as she only has a week left, we would like her to see more of this wonderful little corner of the world. The trip to Union Island (the southern most point of entry of St. Vincent and the Grenadines) is about 95 miles and it will take about 12 hours on a reach.

Jenessa and I started our morning with a lovely jog/walk around the community. For the most part this village is quite clean and very friendly. Almost everyone says good morning, good afternoon or good night to us depending on the time of day. We found it interesting that they use good night for saying hello when we use it to say goodbye.

The picture here is one of Alex’s latest “friends - Ronnie”. Not only does she attract the young men ashore this one came looking for her in his row boat. When they start rowing out to the boat, Ron figures it is time to leave Dodge.
