Carriacou (8.30.10)

Another of the tri-state islands that Grenada belongs to is Carriacou (pronounced CARRY-ah-coo). Its name comes from a name given to it by the Amerindians which means “land surrounded by reefs”. Underwater coral and reef systems surrounding the island are rated among the best in the world, and since we were so close, we thought we’d take a look. We woke up at dawn thirty to get to town so that we could catch the only ferry, The Osprey, across the sea. It was a big deal to the kids to sit up top, and so we baked in the sun for an hour and a half on our way over.








Upon arrival, one might assume there is not much to do, however, we found plenty to occupy our time.
