Re: Hi from Carriacou.
Hey Cassie, Thanks for the welcome. Yes I was actually in Grenada for Ivan in 2004, which was horrific, moved up to Carriacou for work reasons, 3 months after Ivan, as I was helping in Grenada. Moved ashore and 5 months later got hit by Emily. The house I was living in lost the roof, and the next door neighbour came over at about 5 am to find me in my sailing foul weather gear, sweeping out the water. People here were wonderful. Jinger, my cat, had the right idea, in the corner of a kitchen cupboard. Should have joined him.16-03-2010, 01:03 PM

Re: Hi from Carriacou.
Thanks for the welcome. Sometimes do get a little lonely here, as I am on my own and the island is only 6 x 3 miles, 18 sq miles. We do get tourists, but during hurricane season, obviously not too many. Unfortunately, this year has been predicted as being a BIG one. Oh well, the joys of living in Paradise.Sal

Re: Hi from Carriacou.
Dear Azz, thanks for the welcome. I actually sailed here from South Africa, 8 years ago, with a lady crewmember. Most of my life has been on the sea, but just over the 50's mark found that it was getting more difficult to haul all the jerry cans for water and diesel, so gave the boat back to the ex boyfriend and came ashore. Of course, silly me, went and bought another boat a year ago, but this one is just for poddling in the islands. Will post some photos soon. Sal
