Finding a Balance

It's hot, it's beautiful and you are with the person that you love. Sometime with a combination like that it is hard to be motivated and plan activities, excursions or even hop on a bus going north and explore. When you have everything you could ask for on your doorstep it often happens that you become a bit complacent and only realise a week later you have done nothing more than read, snorkel and wander around together.

But hey, whats the problem with that right? Nothing! But we have to remind ourselves now and again that we don't have forever to sail around and we don't want to miss anything or regret anything and I think, for us, not doing much would mean a few regrets.

Although we originally though a year and half to do this all in sounded like such a long time i can tell you, it's not and so we are realising more and more that we need to strike a balance in what we do.

Getting our activities on! Kayaking in Mangroves in Carriacou

On the plus side, now that we have decided to stay put for a few weeks here in Grenada it will hopefully give us the perfect opportunity to find this balance. With such an active Sailing Community here there is the option to do something everyday of the week and meet people from all over. That in itself is a booster to get up and get seeing things on the island.

On the list so far of things we want to do here:-

• Waterfalls - LOTS of them 
• Sulphur Springs
• Old Run Distillery
• Walks and hikes in the Forest Reserve
• Camping
• Be part of the Carriacou Regatta

So many things to do and try; it's a great feeling.... now just need to see where the relaxing part comes in to make sure the balance doesn't tip the other way either :)
