rougher south coast.</div>

Eagles' Wings is given a pretty stiff handicap in racing rules even </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
though she is rigged for cruising. For example, we had 2nd place at</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the finish line in 2 out of 3 races the first day but placed last in the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
points system in our field of 5 boats. We were also a fairly </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inexperienced crew with several first-timers like myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did have one mishap on the first day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our skipper had us in perfect position at the start-line for the 3rd race</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when another boat T-boned us! We saw them coming at us and had time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to pull our legs up but their skipper made no attempt to roundup away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from us. Luckily no one was hurt but Eagles' Wings did sustain</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
damage. The other boats' bow snagged our lifeline and pulled it,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ripping one stanchion from the deck, bending another stanchion,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and twisting the bow pulpit. There was also some hull damage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somehow we managed to recover and still placed second!</div>

We've been back in Grenada for a month now and have settled into the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
routine of a cruisers' life in Prickly Bay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was nice waking up to a rainbow on our first morning here.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been trying to exorcise the demons from Merengue ever since!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No amount of incense, rum offerings, chanting, etc seems to be working.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've had numerous boat problems and the Packers haven't played </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well ever since except that time when they</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
beat, now who was that, oh yes the Minnesota Vikings!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the net controllers on our cruiser's radio net has a saying that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel is very true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Sailing is not a Vacation but a Vocation."</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jim is getting too much vocational training since we've been back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here he is wedged into the head replacing the joker valve.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days later our dinghy sprang a leak.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is worse than getting a flat tire on your car.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A flat is quickly changed and you're back on the road.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dinghy had to be hauled out for several days while a patch was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
applied and allowed to dry. The hole was on the bottom of the tube.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a challenge because when the dinghy was deflated, you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
couldn't get it to lie flat enough to apply the patch smoothly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When inflated so that the tube was smooth it leaked!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jim came up with a good solution where he applied a small </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
patch that was just slightly larger than the hole and let that dry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for 24 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then Jim inflated the dinghy a little more to smooth out the hull, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
being careful to not blow the patch. He glued this larger patch right </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over the top. If you don't think this solution will work, please don't</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tell us. We prefer living in denial!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many thanks go out to our friends who gave us rides back and forth </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to shore for the many days it took to do the repairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning we had a problem with our outboard engine, the same</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
problem we had last year. The engine won't stay in gear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dear friends. I may be calling you again!</div>

There has been time for some fun. I've been doing noodle</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And we celebrated Thanksgiving aboard S/V Certitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, the person with the big catamaran gets to host.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

fashion shows, tours to chocolate factories and cocoa plantations</div>

One of the events that caught my attention was a yoga class at</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The True Blue Bay Resort that featured chocolate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Curious about how the two could be combined I gathered up several </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
other cruisers from my yoga class and we headed over to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the yoga studio early last Saturday morning.</div>

The class was gentle, the surroundings beautiful and the aroma, well </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it alternated between the scent of the flowers outside the windows to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the occasional whiff of chocolate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The class ended with an unusual meditation that went something like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>"Place the piece of chocolate in your hand.</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Look at the rich color, the texture.</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Watch how the light catches it.</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Bring the chocolate slowly towards your nose. Inhale and notice how</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>the aroma intensifies. Close your eyes and breathe deeply.</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Now place the chocolate on your tongue but don't chew it.</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well, you get the idea. It was all about tuning into each of our senses</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A sport that we've been seeing more and more of in recent years is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Standing Up Paddleboarding or SUP. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a lover of all water activities I was curious to understand the attraction.</div>

My final review, I prefer to kayak.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can more easily look around and take full advantage of your </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
surroundings in a kayak. It's more relaxing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And why would I want to stand when I can sit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I mention that the kayak has a drink holder?</div>

One of the best aspects of travel is immersing yourself in other cultures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whether it be the arts, food or sport it is all there for you to experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With this in mind we decided to go to Grenada's National Stadium </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to see our first Cricket match.</div>

The match was England vs the West Indies and it was a Test Match </div>

which I am told is the traditional way of playing Cricket. </div>

Traditional is their way of saying this is going to take 5 days.</div>

We went on day 4 and watched for 5 hours not including the breaks </div>

for lunch and afternoon tea. That is the players' breaks for lunch </div>

of water, perfect for snorkeling.</div>

For 5 days we conducted classes in swimming pools and at beaches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
around Grenada. The volunteers taught more than 500 children and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
adults providing more than 1600 hours of instruction. It was fabulous!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was fortunate to get to spend every afternoon on gorgeous </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grand Anse Beach. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the 3rd year that my friend Hope and I have put on a fundraiser for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Pink Ribbon Society of Grenada.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first year we used our weekly domino game to solicit donations in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
memory of a fellow cruiser who we lost to this hateful disease. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year we thought why not continue?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we thought we can do more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still building on the domino game theme we solicited prizes from various </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
businesses and added a raffle. The spirit of giving is alive and well in Grenada.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost everyone we asked said yes!</div>
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had gift certificates for restaurants, supermarkets, bike rental,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gym memberships, movie passes, wine, beer, glassware, artwork,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and much, much more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fantastic!</div>

Our happy first place winner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so happy to say that we raised 2000 ECD which will all go to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
help cancer patients and their families right here in Grenada.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope and I have some more ideas for next year so if you're in the area,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how about a game?</div>
