So after a week in Grenada we picked up anchor at St. Georges (the capital) and headed to Sandy Island, Carriacou. The trip was short, and pleasant. The anchorage, not so much.

After one failed attempt at anchoring off of Sandy Island, we headed up to Tyrrel Bay. After squeezing into the small space Tyrrel Bay offered, we dove the anchor, only to find a huge, rusty chain caught on it. In a panic, the whole Harper family somehow managed to steer the boat free of this chain and tried one last time to anchor in Carriacou.

At 9:00pm in a bay lit only by moonlight, the dreaded alarm went off and the family, exhausted and tired, turned back into crew mode. With five unsuccessful anchors, we figured the anchor would never stick in this island, so we took a plung and made the 12 hour trip to Marigot Bay, St. Lucia.

It's been a long day, but this bay is absolutely beautiful. We're just a short swim away from the island resort and happily moored, with no worries of our anchor drifting.
