Living on a Sailboat exploring the world
As we move north up the Caribbean, it’s time to recap our Grenada favorites. This country has beautiful scenery, friendly people, good food and lots of social events, to say the least.
These are the top things you should see and do when you visit Grenada.
We’re looking back as our time in Grenada ends. Three months have flown by, as we’ve kept busy with cruiser activities, guests and boat projects. As we say goodbye to a wonderful place to spend hurricane season, we’re ranking Grenada anchorages.

St. Kitts is larger and less accessible than Nevis, at least from our experience on our sailboat.
