GRENADINES FLEET Cruising the Grenadines under sail for 10 days Getting to Grenada is a great deal easier than most Caribbean Islands. Point Salines airport on the southwestern tip of the island handles the largest jets, and whether flying from the States or Europe, you can book direct flights or at worst, a one-connection journey. True Blue Bay Resort and Marina, just a ten-minute taxi ride from the airport.The following itinerary suggests some of the islands and anchorages you might expect to visit during a 10 day cruise, but can easily be modified to suit a 7 or 14 day vacation.
Day 2 Make an early start for an exhilarating day sailing to Tyrrel Bay , on the island of Carriacou, a volcanic peak created 26 to 36 million years ago. Enjoy cruising 20 miles up the leeward west shore of Grenada, accompanied by the nutmeg-scented tradewinds. A brisk 10 mile reach from the north-west shore of Grenada past Diamond rock, and Ille de Ronde, to Carriacou makes the first drink at one of the local rum shops taste even better! Anchor amongst the local fishing boats and trading schooners that still ply their trade under sail today. Enjoy a stroll and a swim off the beach. Dine ashore or BBQ the fish you caught on the passage from Grenada.
A stone's throw away lies Palm Island, where the golden sands of Casuarinas beach will lure you into the turquoise waters once more. Set sail for palm-lined Saltwhistle Bay on the north west shore of Mayreau. Snorkel the reef on Grand Col Point. Hidden behind the pristine beach and palms of Saltwhistle, nestles a fine resort where you can enjoy dinner Flintstone-style on rock tables.
Day 7 An early morning trip ashore to replenish provisions at the
local market and with the roadside vendors . Snorkel the reef off Princess
Margaret's beach or dive the wall at Devil's Table or the deep waters of Moon
Hole. Heading South again, set your course for the west side
Day 8 Sail back to cosmopolitan Clifton Harbour to check out of St. Vincent territory, then ease the sheets for a great down-wind sail to Tyrrel Bay on Carriacou. Maybe this time you'd like to try some local oysters offered by one of the fisherman in the bay! Day 9 One last passage to Grenada and overnight at Prickly Bay, a large tranquil bay on the south coast of Grenada. Enjoy exclusive dining at one of the best restaurants on the island, or choose from many other restaurants ashore. At weekends, dance the night away to the local sounds of the steel pan band at the Boatyard. Day 10 A short leisurely sail brings you back around to True Blue Bay Marina for a noon finish.
