Makai

5/26/09 to Present
Sailing down Grenada’s western shore, we welcomed the familiar sights of the small fishing villages, towns & lush, mountainous terrain.
We had decided to stop at Molinere Point to dive the Underwater Sculpture Garden. Although we have snorkeled at the Garden four times previously, we have never dove the site. As [...]

We’re always reluctant to leave the Cays, but we’re nearing the month’s end & need to continue south. Sailing over to Union Island, we spent a night in Chatham Bay prior to sailing around to Clifton Harbour to clear out through Customs & Immigration.
