The last two nights have been much cooler for sleeping thanks to the rainy season in Grenada.

After breakfast I took the bus into Grand Anse to the Spiceland Mall. The grocery store there has a much better selection of fresh meat than the one outside the marina. I am running out of chicken recipes! Unfortunately the grocery store was closed due to inventory taking. Just my luck. I took the bus back to the marina empty handed.

Jorge and I got ready to go to the yacht club (decked out in orange, Holland's colour) to watch the noon hour soccer match between Holland and Mexico. We were there to support Diana who is Dutch. There were about three other couples present also cheering for Holland. There was quite the cheering when Holland scored and eventually won the game.

Temp was around 28C again but after the rain showers with the sun coming out it felt like a steam bath for awhile. I shouldn't complain, during the soccer match in Brazil, it was reported to be 38.8C!

After the game we hitched a ride with Diana and Gilbert in their dinghy and went to Grand Anse beach. Coconut Beach Restaurant features live music and a bbq on Sunday afternoons. We have been to the beach previously and enjoyed the music but today we decided to partake in the bbq. Supper was extremely early as the bbq was over at 1600. Afterwards we had drinks with Diana and Gilbert in their cockpit aboard Serenada. Gilbert took us back to the marina around 1900 in between rain showers.

The bar.

Every restaurant/bar has a t.v. tuned into the soccer matches.

Ditto.

We will be leaving the life of cottagers and getting back into the cruising lifestyle on July 1st as our time will be up in the marina. Too bad as I was really enjoying the convenience of all the amenities!
