GUADELOUPE TO GRENADA
APRIL 21, 2012 - AUGUST 1, 2012
Ahoy, Everyone,
Hope all is well there and this email finds you all happy and healthy. It has been a little crazy aboard Ultra lately.
We are currently in St. George's, Grenada for the hurricane season.
We are currently in St. George's, Grenada for the hurricane season.
Since we last updated our blog we have had great visits with both local and cruiser friends in Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and then to beautiful Grenada again for hurricane season. The downside was Dengue Fever , but the upside was we celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary and Ultra became a Chapel of Love for our wonderful friends from Texas, Darryl and Laurie.
Tropical Storm Ernesto decided to make its' way towards Grenada, but then the path changed and the storm hit St. Lucia. We battened down the hatches and removed all of the sails, canopies, stuff on deck, etc. Lots of work, but worth it if we had gotten bad weather. Good thing is we have lots of practice since we lived on the Gulf Coast of Texas for all of these years. We have another storm brewing out there, so we will keep an eye on it.

We hope that you enjoy this blog and we appreciate all of you support as we are chasing our sailing dreams!
Cheers,
JoAnne and Bill : )
