What this video covers
Steve and Annette cruise SV Cordelia, a 46-ft ketch, along the coast of Grenada, stopping at Halifax Bay, Guave, and Rond Island. At Halifax Bay they attempt to dive a shipwreck but find the water too murky; the coral seabed is visible and described as exceptional.1:57 A nearby island with a derelict restaurant, accessible only by boat, has been abandoned since Covid.2:24 At Guave they locate Fish Friday, a local fish-and-music event that many cruisers miss because it has moved off the pier — the correct route is off the pier, turn right to the petrol station, fork left, about 100 yards up.5:50 Between Karakoo and mainland Grenada, near the submarine volcano Kickham Jenny, they snorkel the Sisters Rocks in two-to-four-knot current over rugged, colorful coral.10:35 On the uninhabited private island of Caerle they collect coconuts and open them using an axe, demonstrating two techniques: digging out the stem end for a straw, or chopping the opposite end.9:02 Separately, Steve demonstrates a Baja filter — a three-stage unit with coarse, fine, and water-separation elements — used to filter jerry-can fuel before it enters the tank, visibly catching sediment from locally purchased diesel.4:37
