Packing away for the hurricane season by Jojo

Passage from St Lucia to Grenada, May 2015

We were making our way slowly down the Windward Islands towards Grenada, where it was planned that we would leave Island Swift for the hurricane season. The hurricane season goes from the beginning of June to the end of November.  Although we are not planning on working this summer, we still needed to go home for important things like peanut butter and family weddings!

Caribbean May 2015

As I write this blog we are anchored in Soufriere Bay, below the stunning Pitons mountains on St Lucia in the windward islands of the Caribbean. Simon has just climbed to the top of Petit Piton. We could see him through the binoculars! Finbar is studying his OU Maths course, learning about calculus. Lochlann is playing the piano, teaching himself how to play The William Tell Overture. We have been in the Caribbean for nearly two months now, and life is good.
