Hello Everyone,
Well we have been back to Grenada since the 13 th. We went to the states to take care of my mother. She was almost 94 years old and she feel and hit her head and that was about she could take. We buried her the 5th of Aug. and said good by to most of our relatives in the process.
While we were there we rented a car and about the 7th a 3/4 ton heavy duty ford truck decided to run into the back of us at 55 miles an hour to total that little plastic box. No one was injured because of the seat belts. My Sister In law had some photos of the wreck but she has lost them in her computer, if she finds them I'll post a few.
We had a hard time getting a flight out because of the schools starting up here in Grenada.
Tomorrow we look at this other boat that I'm interested in. We looked at it yesterday but could not get inside but that will happen. The boat for you who know sail boats it's a 40 ft. Hugh's Columbia. It was built in 1981 and with what I could tell from the outside it is in excellent condition. We'll have to take a few items off Drifter but not much if we decide to break our bank account and by it. OK I'll let you know what happens in the next posting, hopefully with some new photos.
See y'all down the road

Hi y'all,
Just a short posting to let you know whats going on and whats happened in the last couple of weeks.
We had another cricket match at Clarkes Court Bay Marina and a good time was had by all. Karen wasn't there because she had to fly to the states so no photos. The world beat CCBM for the second time and they demand a rematch. I guess we will have one by the time we get back to Grenada.
I had to fly to the states also but we will be back on the 13 th I think. The airline just don't have that many flights into Grenada.
Karen and I found a sail boat that we like in Grenada and when we get back we will see about getting it. It's a little bigger than the one we have now.
Butcher and Suzann left for the UK and I have received an e-mail that they are on there way to Cape Town SA. Hope we catch up with each other in January.
Well that catches y'all up, sounds kind of boaring doesn't it.
See y'all down the road
