Wendell and Shelly joined up with Ken and Kristine in Antiqua. With a shallow draft the Grateful Red found spots that had no other vessels. With sailors like Wendell and shelly the symmetrical spinnaker was flown. The ending destination being St. Barth for Les Voiles de St. Barth Regatta, and a check out of the St. Martin party site – Mary’s Boon Beach House
After a respite in Rodney Bay St. Lucia, with a leaving marina blender party, Ken and Kristine sailed on – solo. Martinique, Dominica, Les Saintes – encountered few anchor off issues, part of the learning curve – Guadeloupe, Desirade Island and Antiqua. Lots of water, anchor-offs, cruiser partiers and ports for the Grateful Red, but all wonderful Caribbean cruising.
After a great 60th Birthday for Ken with Gordy and Anna, Ken and Kristine headed north to St. Lucia to catch a plane for Liza and Richie’s Key West wedding. Another stop at Union Island, a visit to Castello’s shirt shop where Ken hired Castello to hand paint the Grateful Red on a shirt for Liza’s wedding. Cruised Tobago Cay, Mayreau and Cancouan to Mustique Island where Ken had made reservations for the 35th Mustique Blues Festival. Unbelievably Prince William, his wife kate and the royal entourage also attended the Mustique 35th Blues Festival. Please note – William is not a good dancer and Kate is pretty
See you on the Water
