Hurricane Season in Grenada

Estrellita (IP38-138) has been waiting out hurricane season in Prickly Bay, Grenada. We’ll be heading west in the next week or so across the Venezuelan out islands on the way to the ABC’s, Columbia and hopefully the Panama Canal in March/April. Meanwhile we have had a chance to get to know Grenada a bit better.



Most of these photos were taken while we explored Grenada in search of GeoCache treasures (for more information go to www.geocaching.com). It was a Disney E-Ticket ride to drive left on narrow, narrow roads with cars coming the opposite way at full speed. When a car or oversized buss approach a blind corner they honk to warn whoever is coming from the other way!



Two great side trips were a stop at a 300 year old Chocolate plantation and a visit with the Mona Monkeys. Right out of the seed pod Cocoa looks more like road kill entrails, After fermenting, drying and roasting, the look more like you would expect. Wikipedia says that the Mona Monkey is extinct in Grenada. Guess again…
