A pretty little island north of Grenada and part of the same country, Carriacou is a must visit if you make it all the way to Grenada. Grenada has the size and amenities and a lot of safe harbors, but Carriacou boasts clearer, cleaner water and a more relaxed vibe. When you visit, check out our Carriacou favorites.
The trip from Grenada north to Carriacou takes only a few hours and we should have visited more often. At least we stopped on our way down in July and again in October.
Here is why you should visit and what to do in Carriacou.
Carriacou
Hurricane Beryl destroyed much of beautiful Carriacou, and you can help rebuild. Here are some links to good causes in the region.
The end of hurricane season means we are moving north again. It’s Sailing Sava with Mel, Brian and Domino Season 2!
The sun has set on our first cruising season and season 2 is on!
We had lofty goals for our first season, many of which went by the wayside due to mechanical or weather issues. In the end, we got where we needed to be safe and sound and that’s what really matters.
Our latest plan for this year is to head partway back north the way we came and explore and enjoy the places we missed or rushed through on the way down to Grenada.
It’s funny how quickly plans can change: friend boats arrive in a harbor and you decide to stay for another day, or storms threaten and you leave for a more sheltered bay. We are getting better at going with the flow and we are enjoying it more than ever!
Where We’ve Been in Season 2.0
We left Grenada in mid October. Since then, we have travelled less than 200 nautical miles, but we’ve done so much I can’t fit it into one blog post!
We explored anchorages in Carriacou, took a deeper dive into the Grenadines, and actually got to explore a lot of Saint Lucia. Thanksgiving Day is today in the U.S. (Happy Thanksgiving everyone!) and we are stuffing ourselves with delicious French food in Martinique.
Here is a little map of the stops we took since we left Mount Hartman Bay (our favorite anchorage) in Grenada on October 17th.
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.
