Our next stop is Carriacou. We sailed north on October 12th - leaving St George's in Grenada and heading for Tyrell Bay in Carriacou. We were hit by a squall half way and decided to overnight at Round Island where we found a beautiful anchorage with crystal clear water. The next day we finished our journey and arrived in Tyrell Bay around lunchtime. Paul and Sheila from que Rico were waiting for us with some nice cold beer!
Diamond Island next to Round Island. We sailed past "Kick'em Jenny", an underwater volcano (still active) that created these islands. Another island is expected to break the surface in the next 100 years.
Sunset in Tyrell Bay, Carriacou.
Cookout on Sandy Island with Menno, Val, Daniel, and Jon from Eira.
We decided to head up to Tobago Cays in the Grenadines for a few days while we wait for our dodger to be sewn. We met up with La Galipot and Eira to do some trick-or-treating. The snorkeling was fantastic (sea turtles and a nurse shark), and the beaches are white sand and very clean.

This boat is called Snow White - but we didn't see any dwarves.
