Well the last few days in Grenada were a bit of a blur. We were busy getting ourselves and the boat ready for our return to Canada. On Saturday I did laundry and we watched the final of the Champions League UEFA (European soccer) at the yacht club. Once back at the boat we started packing and got the motor and dinghy secured on the davits.

On Sunday we moved from the anchorage to Port Louis Marina. Unfortunately we were put into a berth, not a slip (I didn't know there was a difference) without the correct power. We didn't have a cheater and because it was Sunday the marina manager wasn't available to give permission to move us. We were beside a couple from Toronto and were invited for appetizers and dinner aboard their boat. It was a good evening. They have been cruising full time for six years and have wintered in Grenada for those years. Lynn, in particular, is very involved with the cruising activities and gave us some good insight into them, including hash (a weekly walking/running program).

On Monday morning when the marina manager was in, we moved the boat to our proper slip with the proper power. I defrosted the fridge and we finished preparing the boat to be left for 3 weeks. Lynn used her contacts and arranged for a taxi to take us to the airport. We left the marina just before 1300 for the 6 mile drive to the airport. Our flight left at 1500 and we arrived in Toronto at 2025. It felt good to be back in Canada to see our kids and visit friends!
