From Union Island to the southern end of Grenada was 43 nautical miles.  We stopped for a few days in Tyrrel Bay on the island of Carriacou, enjoying an evening of local pan music, before sailing south along the windward side of Grenada to St. David�s Harbor, a secluded cove on the southeast coast of Grenada.  At this time, we just wanted to enjoy some peaceful days relaxing onboard our boat in some beautiful remote sheltered cove before heading south to Trinidad.  We knew that once we arrived in Trinidad our life would become quite busy as we prepared Kuhela for our six month departure.  Looking at the chart, the southern end of Grenada seemed like it had a few possible anchorages that met our criteria.  Hence, our intention was to anchor first in St. David's Harbor, check it out, and then continue on west to some of the other anchorages.  Well, we never left St. David�s Harbor; it met our criteria and we fell in love with its beautiful peaceful setting.
We had a wonderful relaxing time in Grenada, but two unusual �local� experiences will always be remembered.  One day we took the local bus into St. George�s, the capital.  Basically, when a Grenada bus is filled to capacity there is still room for one more person, making our bus ride that day a very �squeezed� experience.  Another day we took a long walk over to the next bay.  This day we learned the �true� meaning of the Caribbean phrases �just there� and �just now.�  These words essentially mean any distance and any time between now and an hour from now.  To say the least, we were tired upon our return to the boat.
