[status] We arrived into Tyrell Bay, Carriacou about 11am after a pleasant overnight motorsail. This is one of the only two remaining ports of entry that are still open for Grenada. As expected there was a line up of people at Customs & Immigration. A lot of people are cutting their cruising holidays short and flying back home. The first line up was for a health screening which was a travel history and temp check. Then on to Customs & Immigration. Grenada grants us a 90'day visa with the option of extending monthly up to a year. Starting midnight tonight there will be tighter restrictions here in Grenada and all boats arriving will have to self-isolate for 14 days. Several other Caribbean Islands have closed their borders completely. Eg Trinidad &'Tobago, the French Islands, St Lucia, BVIs.

Glad that we made the move when we did. Barbados was a lovely spot to spend some time but Grenada has several marinas and a lot of boating services. We are looking to haul out and paint the bottom and a few other jobs. Also our insurance will cover us here during the hurricane season.

Amazing how quiet it is here tonight in the anchorage with probably close to 75 other boats. The bars and restaurants ashore are open only for take away food. Barbados had only a few cruising boats but several loud bad ass party boats milling around the anchorage most of the night.
