SAILING AROUND THE WORLD WITH SPIRIT OF ARGO

Hog Island Anchorage – Kids club, Dominoes, Sunday Social and Dingy Concerts

Hog Island-protected for the kids

The human’s and I are still ‘hanging out’ anchored off Hog Island on the south shores of Grenada.

The bay here is very sheltered.  This makes it an ideal spot for the human’s to do boat maintenance, for me to play on the beaches and for the cruising kids to horse around.

To give cruising parents a break they do a Kids Camp on the island in the afternoon. http://www.grenadakidscamp.webs.com/

Kids club-in the afternoons

When the heat gets too much in the afternoon for the humans to continue with boat jobs we all head over to the shade of the island and play dominoes.

If all this is not sociable enough, there is also Sunday Social.  This is traditionally the day local families come to the beach.

 

What a great place to meet your fellow adventurers

On Hog Island locals and cruisers mingle together and even let the cruisers in on a few recipes.

If a BBQ on the beach Is not your style, why not try a dingy concert.

They anchor off a barge with a bar and a band and everyone ties their dinghies up to it.
