Caribbean Champagne Sailing: An Unforgettable Journey

< !—-[If you enjoy the thrill of sailing in the Caribbean, where there is always wind and perfect sailing conditions—][you will love this episode where the Fair Isle family sets sail from Grenada, stopping at the Windward Islands for a truly incredible experience. ## Heading to St. Lucia Their journey began by sailing to St. Lucia where they found a lovely little anchorage to spend some time and rest before moving on. The perfect location for exploring and experiencing what this Caribbean paradise has to offer. ## Rendezvous with the Island They stopped at Rond Island, one of their original destinations, but due to an exclusion zone because of active volcanoes in the area, they had to change plans. But that only made it more interesting, as they were determined to explore Tobago C and other islands. ## Exploring by Land and Sea The adventurers also ventured onto land where they experienced a stunning sunset at their evening anchorages while observing birds enjoying their feed. Their mornings were filled with excitement, particularly in the area of marine projects aboard their boat. ## Anchor Troubles During this episode, they faced challenges such as retrieving their stern anchor that was deeply buried and getting their bow anchor unstuck from a tangled mess. It took some effort and time but they managed to resolve all issues successfully. ## Diving into Paradise One of the high points of their journey was snorkeling in Chattam Bay, where Judy reported the stunning clarity of water. Their friends recommended it for great diving, which indeed turned out to be one of their memorable experiences. ## Improving Boat Amenities and Sailing Gear Throughout their journey, they were always on a lookout for ways to improve onboard amenities. They created useful DIY projects such as making Dacron loops for the boat's rigging and reefing line. These easy-to-follow tutorials have been shared online and prove helpful to many sailors. ## The Vegetable Dilemma The travelers faced a curious lack of fresh vegetables during their travels in some areas, with supplies having to be imported from elsewhere. This highlighted that setting up a vegetable allotment or farming could prove a lucrative business in these Caribbean islands, making life easier for locals and visitors alike. ## Preparing for the Next Journey With hurricane season approaching, the Fair Isle family is getting ready to leave Grenada again until they can safely return. Their next adventure awaits them as they revisit places like Tobago C and spend more time exploring new spots with Milly on board. This promises to be an exciting journey!
