19.01.2022 15,000 NM from Sydney to Grenada Caribbean! A huge thank you to Matt Hayes for the incredible journey to get us here in one piece and for all the adventures on ...the way. Meanwhile - a quick peek at Grenada we have managed between boat jobs!! The Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park is fascinating and fun at the same time. Created in 2006 its a must do here now! Great Anse beach is not too shabby either - and Georgetown looking good from the water! And thanks to Dan and Agnes Long for rescuing us from cleaning and zipping us over to the Sculpture Park in their somewhat fabulous dinghy! . #grenada #caribbean #circumnavigation #sailinglife See more
