RIVIERA ghosted into her pier early this morning, soon joined by Oceania's SERENA, the ship we took in 2018 from Miami to Buenos Aires. It was interesting to note the comparative size of the two ships, although it is far less than this picture suggests.
While I began what I hope is my last day of COVID quarantine, Pam was off the ship early for a sailboat cruise among the Grenadian Islands. Fortuitously, two friends we had made while aboard were on the same tour, giving her company and me some added peace of mind.
This is Moonhole, a cluster of quirky stone homes built under a natural arch in the coastal cliffs. Few of the homes have windows or doors, some are partially constructed with whale bones, and all of them use rainwater collected in cisterns. Some are for rent. We dropped anchor here and had a lovely snorkel.
After snorkeling, we continue down the coast, stopping at a lovely beach for lunch and swimming. I purchased Harry a hat at Fay’s. She told me she has had this spot for 20 years. We had a lovely day with a fabulous sail back to Saint Vincent.
Other than watching activities on the pier, there could have been a better view for me to see from the veranda. The ship was bows-in at the head of a cove with a wall of dense, uninteresting growth occupying most of the view.
After backing away from the pier, when the ship turned around, I discovered that there had been a panorama on the port side. Given that I had the side with the view for the two preceding days, I had no grounds for complaint.
Here's hoping not only for a negative COVID test tomorrow morning but one that will let me go on the tour we have scheduled.
