Flying home

Well I'm flying home tomorrow night and the last few days have been a little hectic, at least hectic by Caribbean standards. I ended up staying in Union Island a little longer than I planned and ended up leaving Clifton at midnight on Monday night. I arrived in Grenada at 7 AM the following morning. The sail down here was one of those perfect nights at sea. It was truly unreal how clear the sky was. The stars were out in force and the sea was flat calm. I had good wind and averaged over 7 knots of speed the whole time. No amount of writing or trying to explain this to someone could ever convey what it's like when the conditions are that good. I had a good time in Union, Saturday night I went out with my friends and ended up going to a couple of the local parties. We started at a place called Eagles Nest and ended at Stress Out, which is a local spot that is located on the second story of a private house. This place goes 24/7 with a full bar and live DJ. Union isn't a very big island and I am starting to get recognized everywhere I go so I ran into a bunch of the people I have met along the way. On Sunday I had lunch up at Seckie's house. He has a place right up on one of the hills and you have a commanding view of the Grenadine islands. Vanessa made up some local food for me and we chilled out on the balcony drinking some rum. I stopped by Happy Island at sunset to have a drink with Janti and ended up going out with him that night for dinner at a French place in Clifton. We closed out the night at Stress Out again and met some kids that were visiting from Miami. I ended up taking all of them over to the Tobago Cays the following day, Janti came along and brought a jug of his famous Rum Punch. We had a good time lounging around on the boat and swimming around with the turtles and rays. I went back to Clifton, dropped everyone off and took off that night at midnight. Last night we had a little party on Fabian's boat as it was one of our local buddies last day in Grenada. He flies to Martinique tomorrow morning to start University there. Today I am moving the boat over near Hog Island. It's a good hurricane hole and one of my buddies has his boat there so he can watch Rum Boogie while I'm in the States. It's way too hot right now to do much but I need to move the boat soon, it's tough to enter that area when the light is bad, the keel hungry reefs surround the place. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone soon. I also can't wait to take the longest and hottest shower in the history of the world.
