Our Swedish friends on Maara had told us not to miss Petit St. Vincent. So we headed there next. What a beautiful island. It's a very small island, still part of St. Vincent, with an exclusive resort. Cruisers are welcome to have a drink at the bar as long as they're not too crowded. We didn't try. We just enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the crystal clear water and some pleasant walks on the white sand beach. Mike also cooked some delicious barbecued chicken while there.
We left to go to Carriacou, but first filled up with water at Petite Martinique because water is so cheap there. Petite Martinique and Carriacou are both part of Grenada so we also had clear in to Grenada, but not until we reached Hillsborough in Carriacou. Petite Martinique is a tiny island famous for boat building. The people were extremely warm and friendly. We were sorry there wasn't more to see and do there.
Then we moved on to Carriacou. Because we arrived on a weekend with Monday a holiday, WhitMonday, we didn't check in until Tuesday. We learned that we had committed a grave error. The immigration official insisted that they are always open; that had we checked, we would have found him. Therefore he was going to fine us for not checking in on Saturday. Fortunately, we got through that without a fine, and the official was pleased that we were sufficiently chastised. Hillsborough is a small town. We got a few things at the supermarket there and found a great new deli, Patti's Deli. We spent most of our time in Tyrrel Bay around the corner in an even tinier town. There we found some fun cruisers and a great restaurant--only one--with mussels and pizza. We enjoyed a few days there, then moved on to Grenada.
