Our Fourth Month in Grenada
By our fourth month in Grenada, it was beginning to feel like home. We had developed a bit of a routine: Sundays, we attended church and went to lunch at Cilantros or Spice Affair afterward. Mondays were for grocery shopping. On Tuesdays, the kids met Pastor for Bible study while…
Our Third Month in Grenada
The highlight of our third month in Grenada was a much-anticipated visit from Grandma (Brandon’s mom). Before her arrival, we left the marina and returned to a mooring ball. We caught up on boat chores and did some extra schoolwork so that we could enjoy every minute with her.
Our Second Month in Grenada
During our first month in Grenada, we hadn’t ventured far from the capital city, St. George’s, so we took Green Man up on his offer to show us around the island. He spent several days driving us around and sharing the country’s culture and history with us.
Our First Month in Grenada
Grenada, also known as the Isle of Spice, produces more than 20% of the worlds nutmeg as well as cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla, mace and ginger. We’re really enjoying the endless supply of fresh and inexpensive fruit, vegetables, and fish.
Products We Recommend
Living on a boat has allowed us to escape consumerism and to realize that our happiness doesn’t depend on material possessions. We really had to step away from American culture to learn just how rewarding it is to live minimally and how much time and money we had wasted shopping, buying, storing, and caring for a lifetime’s worth of stockpiled belongings.

Upcoming Destinations

The kids are really looking forward to spending cyclone season with Kangaroos and Koalas.
