PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED when it finally poured here in Grenada

Moody Blues’ dripping awning filled gave hope that people’s water tanks were filling.

It was a beautiful sight. Songs of gratitude were in the air. All islands (almost) depend on rainfall. “Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain”!

I stole this leaf from Laura’s Herb and Spice Garden. I did it because our lovely tour guide told us that if you write your lover’s name on the leaf and put it in a book and it sprouts then it’s the real thing. I wrote Gene’s name in both English and Spanish (Jeñio) so there would be no mistake.

After 31 years, 9 months and 2 days, it looks like I chose the right mon. 

Now the question is, is did the other leaf I stole for Gene and had him write my name on (in English only) sprout? He can’t remember which book (or magazine) he put it in. We’ve looked all over Moody Blues and it’s not to be found.

My fear is that he did find it and it didn’t sprout! He knows me too well, so if that’s the case he’s just saving “us” a lot of grief, not that I’m superstitious or anything. 

We gave up the hunt and dashed over to Pat & Geoff’s (s/v Beach House) for a delightful, delicious happy hour(s). I love the below action shot Geoff took of us arriving. We look like we know what we’re doing . . .

JUMPING THE GUN, but this prize winning shot of a Hawksbill turtle must start off Deb’s posting. She took it in the Tobago Cays, part of St. Vincent & the Grenadines on her second day visiting us on Moody Blues.

“Jeez, California to Miami to Puerto Rico to Grenada (check into customs) to Carriacou (check out of customs) to Union Island (check into customs) to Tobago Cays and jump in! I loved being on Moody Blues and sailin’.”

“I liked the shot of Jenio w/ the Q flag, because I enjoyed the flag changing drill it was a kick and I believe this is then I woke up from, our 1st crossing. By the way I am enjoying the coffee cup I bought for Allen I love all the different flags, next time I am bringing a CA state bear flag to fly as your guest fly.”

“The 2 big boys “Onyx and Artesomthing.” This shot doesn’t really show how big they were, but whatever, they are always bigger in real life!” 

“Ah, this might be my favorite. You guys are the cutest fish in the sea!” (Susea here, I love it too.)

“The shot of you with Cosmos the K & J Tours driver is adorable (right Bon~Bon?). “

“Then our “Woody” surf shot is friggin adorable.”

“Jenio our fearless leader at the water fall, he looks like he’s been to a Grateful Dead concert.”
“I like the shot of the “Bounty of Grenada’ Who knew chocolate came from a big old pink pod.”

“Love this, it’s a great memory. You 2 look really happy. The waterfalls were bitchin.”

“I am still rolling around. Yes I did see you guys from the air however I was sort of upside down and couldn’t get a photo of the boat etc… but I saw a little ant jumping up and down and I can only guess it was you.

“However, my very favorite shot is in my memory of you and Jenio dancing in your saloon my last night. I really and truly enjoyed myself. Thank you and Jenio for your hospitality (or is it Yacthpitality) and your generosity of sprit, but most of all for putting up with me. Red, Right Returning. Safe Passages.”
