Viking to Grenda

 

Sunday February 11, 2018

Another adventure journey.  Left Miami, Fl today on Viking Cruise ship “Sky”, heading for the Amazon River, Brazil.   Ship is fairly new with lots of amenities.   Nice size, around 950 passengers  vrs  the 3-4,000 typical cruise ships.  Sailing along the East Cuba coast in route to Grenada, St. George.   Fairly brisk breeze and moderately rough seas.  Several days before we enter the Amazon.

Wisconsin Friends

Joining us are Wisconsin friends, Bill & Judy Hesser and Ken & Marcia Rasmussen.  Met on ship shortly before departure.      Three week trip, so we will have lots of time to connect.  Good food of course and lots of activities.  Three days at sea before our first port of call, Grenada.

Docking Grenda

Second day sailing along the coast of Haiti and Puerto Rico.  Still rough seas.  Soon to make the cut into the Caribbean towards Granada, quieter seas we hope.

Steel Band Welcome

Three days at sea, now arriving in Grenada, 8:00am.  AM went ashore for a brief self guided walking tour of the market area.  Lots of memories as we were here back in the 80’s for a very memorable sailing trip.  PM took a guided tour of the island, lots of views overlooking the harbor we once sailed out of.  Great island of natural beauty and of course the harvest of spices and nut neg.  Back to the ship for an 8:00pm departure.
