Grenada is our Caribbean paradise for the 31st week of the year.
During this week our family sailing cruise will concentrate on the Grenada which is an ideal location for a vacation adventure. Grenada is a rolling, mountainous island, covered with fragrant spice trees and rare tropical flowers, bordered by stunning beaches, and dotted with picturesque towns. So we spend two weeks here. Our second week is easy for sailing until the end of the week when we make an overnight passage to Tobago. We will pick you up at the dock at Prickly Bay, Grenada (aka L'Anse Aux Epines) near 11.9938717,-61.76163167 . You will need a taxi from the airport. It is close by the airport. Just have the taxi hail "Family Affair" on channel 9 and we will come and get you at the dinghy dock at Prickly Bay Marina. We will deliver you to the dock at Crown Point, Tobago on Sunday morning before noon. The airport is nearby. Tobago has good connections to other international airports such as St. Lucia, San Juan, and Port of Spain.
