grenada chocolate company

Starting with a visit to Grenada in 1998, Mott Green started from scratch and with no experience to discover a love of chocolate and a desire to preserve the environment, creating a unique industry in the rainforest of Grenada.  NOTHING LIKE CHOCOLATE is a full-length documentary on his efforts and achievements . Narrated by Susan Sarandon, and directed by Kum-Kum Bhavnani, this compelling film tells intimate stories of anarchist chocolate-maker, Mott Green, founder of the Grenada Chocolate Company Co-operative .  Finding hope in an industry entrenched in enslaved child labor, irresponsible corporate greed, and tasteless, synthetic products, the film reveals the compelling story of the Grenada Chocolate Company.

Deep in the rain forests of Grenada, anarchist chocolatier Mott Green seeks solutions to the problems of a ravaged global chocolate industry. Solar power, employee shareholding and small-scale antique equipment turn out delicious chocolate in the hamlet of Hermitage, Grenada.

Within 5 years, the co-operative was producing 9 to 10 tons of local organic chocolate. Nothing Like Chocolate looks at this revolutionary experiment, focusing on how solar power, appropriate technology and activism merge to create a business whose values are fairness, community, sustainability and high quality. While Hersheys threatens to remove cocoa from chocolate, and can not guarantee slave-free cocoa in its chocolate, it is Mott Green and his friends, including calypso singer and lawyer Akima Paul, and Shadelle Nayack Compton, owner of the Belmont Estate, who defy all the odds. They insist that this worker co-operative is the model for the future: “We’re doing this for idealistic reasons: we are activists and our goal is to create a true worker-owned co-operative.”

Nothing Like Chocolate traces the continued growth of Mott’s co-operative, exposing the practices and politics of how chocolate has moved worldwide from a sacred plant to corporate blasphemy. Governments around the world, beholden to multi-nationals, sell cocoa for export at the best possible price. Industrial chocolate dominates taste buds and the market. Threatened by boutique producers, such as Grenada Chocolate Company, mega-companies work hard to buy up these small artisans, as Hersheys has done with Scharffenberger.

How successful will this bold experiment be? The Grenada Chocolate Company produces less than 1% of the world’s chocolate, while at least 43% of cocoa beans come from Ivory Coast, where trafficked child labour is exploited to harvest cocoa. In the chocolate industry, Mott’s way of doing things – delicious chocolate, organics co-operatives, employment for local communities – is unusual.

Recently, The Grenada Chocolate Factory also succeeded in addressing their concerns about the impact shipping their chocolate has on the environment.   To counteract the company’s carbon footprint, Mott Green set sail in late February with five tons of chocolate, in partnership with Fair Transport, a Netherlands shipping company, for the world’s first carbon neutral, trans-Atlantic chocolate shipment.

Their travels will take them from Grenada to New York City, then on to Portsmouth, England and finally to Amsterdam.   Their ship is called The Brigantine Tres Hombres, and it is a 32-meter, 165-ton sailboat with no engine.  Green has built his own insulated cool room, powered solely by wind and sun, for the ship’s cargo hold – after all, we can’t let all that lovely chocolate melt!  You can follow Mott’s journey here http://mottontresshombres.blogspot.com/ and the ship’s progress here http://svtreshombres.homestead.com/

A few tips for packing for your Caribbean Yacht Charter Holiday with Horizon Yacht Charters.

The first thing to remember is that space is limited – you definitely need to bring less than you think you do!

Suitcases in particular do not fit on Sailboats or Catamarans – pack a soft-sided sports or duffle bag so that you can fold it or roll it up to store once on board.

Things to pack:

• Passports  - and a good idea is to keep a photocopy in a separate location in case you lose it.
• Credit Cards & /or travellers cheques in US dollars.  You should certainly call your bank or credit card company and let them know roughly what your itinerary is so that they don’t put a block on your cards for fraud prevention!
• Travel insurance documents.

Clothing:

• Several  t-shirts & tank tops
• Shorts
• Swimsuits (at least 2 or 3!)
• Appropriate clothing for visiting towns and restaurants.  It is important to remember that  when in any town, offices, shops or other public places away from the beach, it is frowned upon to wear swimsuits, bikini tops or no tops at all – so please have appropriate clothes for these times.  At most places, eveningwear is casual and comfortable – slacks and casual shirts for the men and casual attire for ladies in a few restaurants, but shorts and T-shirts are fine in most places.
• Long sleeve cotton shirt or similar for cool evenings or to protect from the sun for the first few days
• Sunglasses, preferable with a sports strap (maybe two pairs would be wise!).  Polarized sun glasses are really helpful to help you see the reefs underwater.
• Hat with a wide brim and a chin strap – baseball caps are not appropriate.
• Flip flops are fine for the beach, but you might find you also need tennis shoes or walking sandals if you are going to get the most out of town days and hikes.
• Non-marking shoes to wear onboard, preferably boat shoes that are comfortable to wear without socks
• A light sweater or windbreaker/pac-a-mac
• Tote bag or small backpack for trips to shore and hikes, to carry money, sunblock, water bottles, etc.
• The traveller’s secret weapon – a Sarong – available in plain shades or prints for both men and women, sarongs are  indispensable for travel,  useful every day as a beach towel, pillow(on its own or wrapped around other clothes), privacy screen when changing on the beach, turning your beachwear into a respectable town dress  or long skirt when visiting religious attractions, blanket for the plane or when napping, easy cover up when you’ve had too much sun, or when the evenings turn cool.

Medications and toiletries

• Any prescription medication you require, shampoo, toothpaste and bring double the amount of  (spf 25 or higher) sunblock that you think you will need!  PLEASE  do not bring sun oil as it stains linens, boat cushions and decks
• Antihistimine/cold medicine, aspirin/paracetemol/ibuprofen, antibiotic cream, sun burn lotion, insect repellent with Deet (Off is great, don’t bother with family friendly or natural solutions) & afterbite cream, large band aids, tweezers, nail clippers, and a needle for slivers.
• For ladies, you won’t really need any makeup, most of it will run in the tropics, suggest only coloured eyeliner and tinted lip protector/gloss (with spf).

You might wish to also pack the following:

• Small flashlights, as well as pocket-size multi-tools or Swiss army knife
• Binoculars
• guide books
• Family 2-way radios to communicate with your crew when exploring on-shore as well
• A small AC/DC inverter to charge mobile phones, radios, etc
• Waterproof case for kindle, ipod, etc
• Waterproof digital camera with extra memory cards and batteries
• Mask and snorkel – we recommend that you bring them to ensure a comfortable fit and for hygiene reasons

What not to bring:

Experienced travellers will always put prescription medicines and a change of clothes (plus swimsuit) in their carryon bag in case your baggage is misplaced by the airline. Don’t bring valuables, or expensive jewellery on your holiday… leave work behind and just relax and enjoy!

Horizon Yacht Charters Grenada is proud to have a fantastic team, which allows us to provide guests with unbeatable customer service.  Recently we asked of our team to share some of their favourite things so you can get to know them a bit!

Jacqui Pascall is originally from Shropshire in the United Kingdom, and acts as our Reservations Manager & Financial Controller.  Jacqui is one of the co-founders of Horizon Grenada and has been with them since day 1 over 10 years ago.  Jacqui’s favourite anchorage is the fabulous Tobago Cays, and she loves spending a day off listening to live music (preferably a cover of Bob Marley!) at a Hog Island lime if she isn’t out and about walking her dog,  doing yoga or going diving!  Jacqui loves seeing everything come together at Horizon, with satisfied clients having enjoyed a fabulous sail in the Grenadines… A team effort from start to finish!

James Pascall is Horizon Grenada’s second co-founder and Director and comes from Slindon, near  Chichester – the birth place of Cricket. James loves focussing on the logistics of Horizon’s operations. His nickname is Papa or the Old Cheese, and is always on the move, hashing or riding his bicycle.  James frequently rides over Grand Etang, on his way to a hash or just to visit friends!  His most memorable day out was a recent adventure that found him hiking up Diamond Rock off the North of the Island.  His favourite song is Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd and if you were to coax him into an impromptu “party piece’ he’d reward you with singing or juggling. Given his choice of anchorages, James would always pick Isle de Ronde, also to the North of Grenada!

Bernadette Noel keeps everything going smoothly for our clients as the Customer Service Manager, and has been with Horizon for 8 1/2 years. She loves working with our tight-knit team and knowing that her customers are satisfied.  Bernadette is from Westerhall on the south east coast of Grenada. Her nickname is Bern or B, and she loves Lasagna.  Bernadette can often be found cycling or hiking in her spare time, and plans to visit her favourite anchorage – Petite Saint Vincent – again soon!

Candelle Thomas is from Grand Anse, Grenada and joined Horizon a year ago as the Sales & Accounts Assistant. Candelle loves the added benefit of going sailing while working with Horizon! Candelle spends her down time reading or practicing playing the Steel Pan, and loves hiking up Mount Carmel Waterfall and Grand Etang Trails. You will always get her dancing to Rise to the Occasion by Sizzla Kalonji!

Curtis Licorish is one of our maintenance cleaners here at Horizon, and has been with us for 7 years.  Originally from Marigot, St John’s Parish on Grenada, Curtis’ favourite part of working here is the social aspect of the team. Curtis enjoys fishing and hunting in his spare time, and his favourite dish is West Indian Fish Broth.

Juliet Nash is originally from Bylands, St Andrews Parish in Grenada and has been working as our interior cleaner for Horizon Grenada for 10 years. Juliet is a big fan of the late Whitney Houston, with ‘I Look to You’ being her top track, and loves the Grenadian national dish of Oil Down… If you catch Juliet in the right mood at a gathering she might be coaxed into reciting poetry for the group, and spends her down time reading.

Grenada, West Indies – February 2012 – Horizon Yacht Charters Grenada (Horizon Yachts) – has hired John Pirovano as their new Yacht Sales & Service Manager.

John will be responsible for strengthening and developing three key areas of business:

Yacht Sales. Horizon is the Caribbean dealer for Bavaria Yachts and a dealer for Fountaine Pajot Catamarans. In 2011 Horizon Grenada became the dealer for Sea Ray and Meridian motor yachts for the Southern Caribbean, covering St Lucia, Barbados, St Vincent, Grenada and Trinidad & Tobago. John will be responsible for developing sales across the region through a network of sub agents in each country.

Yacht Management. Horizon Grenada opened an office at Port Louis Marina in 2010 with the objective of developing their private yacht management business in this brand new, first class marina facility. John will be the first point of contact for private yachts seeking assistance and management and will continue to develop this growing side of the business. It is hoped that more and more yacht owners will see the benefit of locating their yacht at Port Louis in Grenada: the gateway to the Grenadines.

Yacht Brokerage. There is currently no properly established yacht brokerage company in Grenada. Brokerage will work hand in hand with management where Horizon will take care of a yacht while assisting the owner in its sale.

Originally from New Zealand, John has spent most of his working life in the yachting industry. John’s early sailing career developed from national competition to racing with New Zealand’s best. The early eighties bought John to America where he worked on large mega yachts before being lured into maxi yacht racing. Six years of international competition followed on famous yachts such as Bumblebee 4, Kialoa 4, Condor and Nirvana. This boat broke many blue water records including the Newport – Bermuda and Fastnet race records in ’82 and ’85 respectively.

With marriage in sight, John moved ashore to work initially for Hood Sail makers in Marblehead Mass, before moving into the Marina service and management industry. An opportunity then arose to assist in the establishment of a new mega-yacht service facility for Palmer Johnson in Savannah Georgia, leading to a position of Sales Manager, with global travel in pursuit of service work to the fast growing mega-yacht fleet.

Although never straying to far from his boating routes, John spent several years in the high speed ferry industry developing new business and operations in North America and the Caribbean. In 2010 John was enticed back to the sunshine and trade winds of the Caribbean with an offer of a job in Grenada.

John Pirovano has honed his skills with over 30 years’ experience in the Marina and Yachting Industry with roles varying from yacht sales & service to marina operations & management. His Southern Caribbean role will benefit from his international experience and help him to provide top-notch service to clients with knowledgeable, hands-on advice.  Horizon Grenada is very happy to welcome him on board! John Pirovano can be contacted at john@horizongrenada.com or tel: +1473 536 4956

Learn to Sail in the Caribbean Sun!

Did you know you could learn to sail while enjoying a holiday in the sun? Horizon Yacht Charters Grenada are proud partners of the Nautilis Sailing School.  The American Sailing Association recently announced their 2011 Outstanding Sailing Schools, and  Nautilus Sailing school was one of 20 ASA schools to be granted this award.  Nautilus Sailing School conduct weeklong  liveaboard sailing courses on Horizon’s Bavaria sailboats. Passionate about sailing, they have enjoyed sailing in some of the most spectacular cruising grounds around the world. ” The Grenadines are truly the ideal sailing classroom” says Lead Instructor Tim Geisler.

You will set sail from the beautiful, friendly island of Grenada and visit several other islands and special locations in the Grenadines. Explore this stunning location while earning American Sailing Association 101,103 and 104 (Basic Keelboat, Basic Coastal Cruising and Bareboat) certifications. Over the course of a week you will gain the knowledge, experience and certifications to charter sailboats anywhere in the world, and embark on your own sailing adventure!  The goal is to enjoy a learning vacation. The emphasis is on learning how to sail, through hands-on experience, in a beautiful part of the world. Mornings will be spent learning and practicing new skills. In the afternoons you will set sail with the backdrop of spectacular beaches and islands of the Grenadines, refining these newly learned skills along the way. Once anchored for the afternoon, there will be free time to spend exploring, snorkeling, fishing, and relaxing…

You will be sailing on Horizon Yacht Charters’ Bavaria yachts, which range in size from 39 feet to 42 feet. These are newer, spacious sailboats, with all the amenities one would expect to find on sailboats in charter fleets around the world. Your boat will have 3 cabins, 2 heads /bathrooms, a large kitchen and lounge/dining area, a cockpit with bimini for shade, and a dinghy with outboard motor for exploring. All participants are given a private cabin during their stay on the boat. The spacious owners’ cabin is saved for couples that sign up for the course. Contact Horizon Grenada or Nautilis to book your sailing holiday in the sun!

St George's Market, Grenada

When living in the tropics one quickly gets into the rhythm of eating what is in season, and the dishes reflect the bounty of the rainy season. Avocados are just about finished, but can still be found if you are lucky, as can the odd mango. What does appear now on the table are special meals for visiting and celebrating Christmas as the year comes to an end.

Soursop

Soursop is available almost year round and is a very strange looking fruit. The flavor of the soursop is somewhat of a mixture between strawberry and pineapple but with a tart citrus flavour and a hint of coconut or banana. It has a nubbly green skin and a creamy white flesh with inedible seeds, and it is best cut up like a watermelon. Due to the extreme messiness in preparation, it is usually served as a juice or smoothie, but is also popular as ice cream flavouring.

Peeled Golden Apple

Golden Apples are not like apples! More like a mango in flavour and appearance, the oblong fruits can be prepared green such as in a salsa or wait until they are ripe and eat as a mango, either raw or baked into a dessert such as a crumble! They have a strange spiky pit inside which you have to cut or eat around, and have a light, delicious tangy sweet flavour. Golden Apples also make a wonderful juice.

Bananas and Rock Figs are still plentiful, as are Pawpaws( Papayas) and limes but a particularly important addition to holiday entertaining in Grenada is sorrel. It is key to Christmas entertaining as it is made from red flowers that bloom in December. Sorrel is dried then boiled with spice and enjoyed as a ruby red Christmas punch. Sorrel can be thick and syrupy or diluted with cold water or club soda… a naughtier version can include adding rum! Spiced sorrel punch is reminiscent of spiced apple cider, with a hint of raspberry flavour. There are so many recipes for sorrel juice that experimentation is the only way to find your favourite!

Spiced Sorrel Punch

Spiced Sorrel Punch – Serves 16
2 lbs. dried sorrel flower (sold in bags at markets)
8 cups water
2 pieces cinnamon stick
1-2 inch of fresh ginger , sliced
5-10 cloves
2 cups sugar or to taste
Optional – 1 tsp orange or lime peel, or bay leaf

Rinse the sorrel, then place in pot. Add water, and all other ingredients except sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes, cover and remove from heat. Allow to sit & steep for a few hours or overnight. Strain and sweeten to taste. Flavor with rum if desired. Refrigerate and serve chilled.

Horizon Yacht Charters are thrilled to find that the Bavaria 45 has been awarded the Best Boats 2012 Winner: The Bavaria Cruiser 45 (Cruising Monohull Under 50ft) by Sail Magazine! Since the recession began in 2008, Bavaria has been reorganized under new ownership, and is once again catching the attention of the U.S. market with their new boats designed by Bruce Farr and BMW Group DesignworksUSA.

The Bavaria 45 has spacious berths, with a great galley and saloon layout and sails like a dream – when we recently invited Charles J Doane from Sail Magazine to join us on our brand new Bavaria 45, he said “We had ideal conditions outside Grenada’s True Blue Bay—a strong 20-knot tradewind and a commensurate lumpy sea. The Cruiser 45, to put it bluntly, sails like a witch and reveled in this environment. Certainly it is one of the better-performing mass-production cruisers I’ve ever been aboard… The boat represents a great value for cruisers looking for both charter-boat comfort and performance-boat speed.” Read the full article from Charles here: Bavaria 45 Review .

Of course you can always come down to Grenada to charter a sailing holiday in the Southern Caribbean on our brand new Bavaria 45 to see for yourself! Click here to see our fleet.

Horizon Yacht Sales are proud to be the Caribbean regional dealer for Bavaria Yachts, and are happy to offer a “Try before you buy” program where you can test-sail a yacht on charter with us in the Caribbean. If you subsequently decide to purchase a similar new yacht within the following three months, our Caribbean yacht sales department will deduct up to a week’s charter fee from the purchase price!

Horizon Grenada is very pleased to announce some of the new yachts joining our fleet!

Chez Nous is an award-winning Leopard 4000 Catamaran, for comfortable cruising for up to 4 couples. The yacht is great fun either under sail or power with a fully battened mainsail, 120% roller furling genoa and powerful Volvo engines. The cockpit is well designed with 360 degree visibility from the helm and a hard top bimini for added protection.  A fully opening salon door creates a very large living space combining the galley and the saloon. The spacious galley is well-equipped with fridge and freezer, 2 burner stove and oven.  Accommodation includes 2 double cabins in each hull sharing a full head with a separate shower. Having a crew join you? A small forepeak berth is located in front of each of the forward cabins. This elegant Catamaran provides loads of storage, plenty of ventilation and light.

The Mucho Gusto is an owner’s version of the  Lagoon 410 Catamaran,  with 2 double cabins sharing a head in the port hull and a wonderfully spacious owner’s cabin & en suite head on the starboard side. In addition, there is a small captain’s cabin at the front of the port hull should you decide to travel with a skipper! Fantastic ventilation in the cabins provided by the large hatches, and ample saloon and cockpit space with seating outside for the whole crew shows why this is such a popular Catamaran.  Under   power or sail the 410 really performs! Click to see photos: Mucho Gusto

Onde Calor, a Beneteau 373,  is an economical option  for up to 3 couples travelling together in three double cabins with large shared head & stall shower, and an ideal design for sailing in the Caribbean! With its bright, airy interior &  great ventilation, it has a generous cockpit and seating area. The boat is fantastically easy to sail as all control lines lead back to the cockpit it has a self-stacking mainsail with lazy jacks and roller furling genoa.  This yacht has an L-shaped galley below decks, with a double sink, cooker with oven and loads of storage space. Click to see photos: Onde Calor

Pandora, a fabulous Hanse 470, is a stunning luxury yacht with an almost Bauhaus design by Judel/Vrolijk, a very rare charter boat, that we are very proud to add to our fleet.  Surprisingly easy to sail – even shorthanded – this stunning craft combines a modern extra stiff epoxy hull with a low deck profile and a powerful fractional rig with a self-tacking jib, which is more commonly seen on super-yachts. Her light hull and deep keel means she points into the wind better than most.  With twin wheels in the spacious cockpit, all control lines lead under deck to the cockpit winches. Retractable cleats and flush hatches keep the decks clutter free. Inside, the interior is a very modern living space with 3 double cabins and 2 heads that is with sleek, contemporary fittings throughout the glamorous living space.  Click to see photos: Pandora

La Vida – a Beneteau 51-  has loads of space, with genset for additional power if needed and Air Conditioning. A very popular charter boat design, both  easy to sail and with  fantastic performance.  For safety, all lines lead back to the huge cockpit where the dual helm positions provide great  visibility, and the chart plotter, autopilot and instruments  are all closeby.   The large table with drop leaves in the spacious cockpit are great for socializing!  Below deck is the galley with  2 refrigerators and loads of counter top and storage in this roomy space.  Sleeping up to 4 couples plus a single,  each of the 4 well-ventilated cabins has head and shower en suite, as well as the single bunk cabin up forward with its own head. It’s no wonder this yacht is already in such demand! Click to see photos: La Vida

Annapolis Sailboat Show at Sunset

Jacqui Pascall, co-owner of our Grenada base, recently attended the Annapolis Sailboat Show and had a great time with the team on our Horizon Yacht Charters’ stand!  Jacqui was on the stand with some of the Horizon BVI team: Andrew, Sylvia and Henry, as well as Christalen, Kate and Sally… and Carlijn from our St Maarten base.

The show had a really fantastic crowd, with a great selection of companies and services offered, including BVI Tourism and St. Vincent Tourism Department –  it was fun to meet up with old friends and make new ones, both people attending the show as well as the people manning the other stands! Horizon was lucky to have 4 new Bavaria yachts on display, ranging from 32 to 45 feet… which are for sale or for charter in the Horizon fleet.

Everyone visiting the stand was so friendly, mostly with questions about the differences between the Islands as well as the different yacht charter options available – and with the special boat show offer we had on there were a lot of bookings being made!  Horizon’s goody bags went down a storm, as did the competitions to win a 7 night charter and spend the day with Peter Holmberg, a top USA skipper.

When off the stand exploring the Horizon team was spoilt for choice as the main street is full of bars, cafes & restaurants. Jacqui said some of her favourite treats whilst in Annapolis ranged from Sushi to Thai noodles and chicken satay… and crab cakes with green salad… and an evening spent enjoying a rock/blues band at a pub on West Street was great fun!

Jacqui flew into Annapolis from the Caribbean on American airlines, via Miami… reporting a perfect flight and seamless connections.  Accommodation in Annapolis was in a lovely house right on the river, where she has stayed before – thanks Heather & Chris! Boat shows can be pretty hectic, but Jacqui was lucky to find that the stand was set up by the rest of the Horizon team prior to her arrival to the show, and special thanks goes to Kate, who really pulled out all the stops to get the new stunning back drop, crew shirts, rate sheets, etc. all done in advance.

We will have some photos or video of the show posted soon on our facebook page, join us to keep in touch!
