Lynall family adventure: Jubilee Caribbean style !!!

Raising the Union jack

We have had a brilliant week with our friends Olly, Sally, Tilly and Josephine. I met Sally in Stroud maternity hospital when we had Darcy and Tilly and have been on many holidays together since. Having never been on a boat before we were all a bit nervous about our guests getting their sea legs but we needn't have worried as they turned out to be natural sailors. We started off on the south coast of Grenada and sailed around to the west coast before embarking on any major trips. Having talked to other cruisers we decided to sail up to Isle de Ronde which is a tiny island about two miles long with only 20 inhabitants. It sits between the north of Grenada and Carriacou. We can't believe we have always passed this island by. We anchored in four metres of crystal clear turquoise water and were the only boat there. An american boat that we had met in Grenada joined us and we had the whole beach to ourselves for the jubilee celebrations. Olly and Dave, our hunter gatherers caught a beautiful jack fish and then built a fire on the beach. Sally bought out some fantastic royal masks which kept us amused! The six kids swam in the sea until the sun went down, it was a memorable jubilee.
