From Mayreau, we headed to Clifton Harbor on Union Island, only to clear out of St. Vincent, a requirement before clearing into the next country, in this case, Grenada. We spent a night in Clifton Harbor although it's not one of our favorite places. All the vegetables are imported so are very expensive. The harbor is not as attractive as other harbors as well. And, the last time we were here, a few years ago, we caught our anchor on an underground cable unmarked on our charts. It took quite a bit to get loose including some tangles with locals who wanted to make a few bucks freeing us and vied for our services. All in all, not good memories.
However, we did hook up with an old friend, Tafa, whom we had met on the earlier trip. He had helped us out in Tobago Cays where he works as a boatboy bringing people such things as ice and selling T-shirts. We were able to locate Tafa by asking another boat boy about him and his boat Desperado, which had formerly been spelled Desparado. Tafa came out for a visit which we thoroughly enjoyed.
