We have now spent four nights at the Port
Louis Marina here in Grenada and I have to say, we are liking it, a lot! A marina is like a trailor park for boats,
this one is upscale. Here, as I see it, are the pros and cons.

Pros
1 1 You hook your boat up to shore
power, which means you can have air conditioning ( not a normal occurance on
Zooropa).
2 2 The marina has (somewhat)
reliable wi-fi. We have been feeling
internet deprived.
3 3 You can step directly off the
back of your boat onto land. No having to get on to a wildly bouncing, possibly
wet dingy for a ride into shore where you then have to either climb out onto a
rickety dock or attempt a beach landing, often in the dark.
4 4 Unlimited and long showers. The
water can be left running while you lather up and wash hair and body, a real
treat. If I feel like it I can even blow dry my hair afterwards too.
5 5 The boat is more or less
completely stationary. No wild rocking when a power boat or jet ski goes by and
no rolly nights when the wind and the swell are coming from different
directions.
6 There is a nice pool by
which to while away an afternoon.
7 7 A nice salon and spa at which I
had a good haircut.
8 8 Dinner out every night at their
reasonably priced restaurant.
Cons
The only one I can think of
1) We had to Med. Moor ( meaning stern
to) against the dock. It was our first time. There was a dock, mooring balls,
another boat and the cross wind to contend with, a bit “hairy”.
We intend to pry ourselves off the dock tomorrow and head back out. All good things must come to an end at some time.
