LinoCat

The work done at Grenada marine was good! Nicolas the glassfibre guy and his people fixed the crack in the step and reinforced it. Price for that was 999EC Dollar. The woodwork done from the swiss carpenter and his team was 621EC Dollar. 1647 EC Dollar i paid for the bottom sanding, preparing and painting including both saildrives. The Zinc anodes were still good. 121EC Dolalr for the saildrive oil change. And 2069EC Dollar for the hotel. YEPP, that was the most expensive part. Good news abotu the boatyard is also that the cafeteria will be taken over by the marina people. Currently the do not sell anything besided beer and coke and the coffee sucks. So hopefully this will be much better in the future. The boatyard people are friendly and reliable and keep their promises and Francis car rental was also a very nice experience. To sum it up: The hotel near by is expensive and not up to expectations for that price. Grenada Marine is reasonable priced, work is good and a safe place to keep...

After all work was done: -cleaning of ship bottom -Antifouling hulls -New paint saildrive -Saildrive oil change -some woodwork on the teak grill -some fibre glass work on a step LinoCat was floating again and we directly sailed to Carriacou into Tyrrel bay. Peter, Tina and Chico with their guest Susanne and Walter and Brigitte were already waiting with dinner! Oliver was also there and we met him the first time. We had good food and even better drinks and it was midnight before it stopped :-) The approach to Tyrrel bay in the dark was a bit challenging but with the strong searchlight of Vanora we could circle around all the unlit boats anchored there. By the way, there is a HUUUGGGEEE internet problem, since a fibreoptic cable is broken. So if there is internet access it is extremly slow and often for a few minutes reachable at all
