A week in paradise
Our week in Grenada and the Grenadines was the best trip in a very long time.
Our FP Astrea 42 was in great conditions and everything worked perfectly. Easy boat to sail. No AC wasn't a problem with good ventilation at night.
Fuel consumption and electricity was never a concern with an couple of hours of engine time per day (got back with an almost full tank).
The water maker was a little slower than specs, and (our mistake) we didn't use too much of it in the first days, confident we could refill fast in case we needed. Tip: start making water early, even if the tank is almost full.
Price-wise it was a steal. We flew from NYC with a direct flight and still ended up spending less than a weekend in the Hamptons (say ~$2.5k including flights, charter, extra nights in Grenada, food, gas, scuba diving, extras...)
The team was very helpful in supporting with our requests (e.g., extra sheets, bbq add-on, water toys, watermaker support via phone, etc.) and the whole briefing/check-in/check-out process was absolutely seamless.
The day I came back home, I was again on Globe Sailor looking for our next trip (which I am already booking right now)
