Hog Island, Grenada
On Sundays in Grenada you can always find a great party on Hog Island off the south coast of Grenada – but getting there is half the fun! We recently went with some visitors from England and instead of taking a water taxi, we incorporated our picnic into a Day Sail with Horizon Yacht Charters, Grenada. After a wonderful sail on Dream Maker around the south coast from True Blue Bay Resort, we moored offshore from the beach at Hog Island in time to enjoy the DJ while we snacked and swam, then went ashore to join the fun. A football kick-about was in progress, and barbeques and cooking fires provided a wonderful aroma whilst we sipped cold Caribs. When another small sailboat ran aground on a bit of reef quite a bit of drama ensued while all the nearby yachties raced over in their tenders to join in the rescue! They managed to move the boat off to a safe mooring and everyone went back to the party.
After a while a reggae band started up and we spent the rest of a long, lazy afternoon enjoying the company of some new friends we made while dancing and relaxing… what a wonderful day! We felt like we’d had a proper little holiday, and sailed off in time to enjoy the sunset as we docked back at True Blue. Perfect! We had some fun filming the festivities, but our cameraman was dancing so much that most of the reggae footage was too jumpy to share! You can see a short film of our day here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_SuM7ebRTQ

Well, that’s really an exciting thing to do on summer with friends and family. I’m sure that island is beautiful and full of great things.
