We spent a couple of days in Carricou. Hillsborough is the main town on Carricou and the port of clearance into Grenada. A very colorful town to wander around and visit the many vendor stores and supermarkets.

Cycled around the island and got lost trying to get from Hillsborough to Tyrrel Bay as theres not a lot of sign posts on the roads. It was hot and of course we don’t go out first thing in the morning , we head out at noon! Hmmmm you’d think we would learn.

Tyrrel Bay looked very busy with boats but appealing as it wasn’t as rolley as Hillsborough so we headed around the corner past Sandy Island and all the boats moored for snorkeling, but no one out. Will have to go snorkling here another time.

Tyrell Bay is a nice calm anchorage busy with many boats either anchored for hurricane season or heading south to the main land, Grenada.

While in Tyrrel we met Simon who sells wine and oysters to the cruisers. The thought of oysters appealed……

We also caught up for a drink with Jim & crew from Mopion who we got to know while in Chatham Bay and who were on holiday from the States. They enjoyed every minute they could in the water in some of the bays we had also been to in the Grenadines. You see so many of the same yachts on the same route along the way and it’s always neat to catch up and hear different peoples stories.

Off to the main land Grenada.
