Grenada Overnight to Trinidad

The new Grateful Red sail drive from Sweden got hung up in St. Marteen so when Ken arrived, no sail drive, no motor and little action. Call to Volvo US. Fedex and a credit card, new sail drive in three days. With tons of help from Kyle, Garrett, Kristi and Charlie – a five day visit by instrument guru Paul and seven days of work – plus a Kyle-organized blender party – the Grateful Red was splashed at 3PM, new sail drive test run for an hour and then departure at 4PM on an overnight to Trinidad for Ken\’s birthday and Charlie’s successful summer intern internet interview.
