The owners of biras have been parking money for 40 years. Not surprised that they want to get some back

I really like La Sagesse as a base. If you click on the picture below, you'll see some more pictures:

Agree, college sports are ruining their school spirit charm with transfers and cash.

It is hard to see how any regular, serious student can pay tuition for 4 years, go deep in debt, while watching a millionaire knucklehead classmate chase a ball and transfer in and out of schools and barely do any class work.

Sorry that is 2001

Hello,

I’m looking for one week of owners time on a 4 cabin/4 head CAT in May of 2027. I’ve chartered in the BVI many times and have used owners time through the moorings for many of those trips.

If any one has any time they wish to sell, you can email me at biminis@aol.com.

Thanks,
Ken

thanks l'anse aux epines beach looks nice, still planning but i'll check it out. I also have read people saying that Grenada always calls them back that is a good sign and I read a book called an "An Embarrassment of Mangoes: A Caribbean Interlude" that was a true story about a sailing couple that came back to to Grenada for years, sounds like i'll be just fine even at Grand Anse Beach Palace https://grandansebeachpalace.com that place so far is the only place that has availability when I have to be there. thanks!

First year we went was 2021. We loved it. Went once or twice a year for quite a while. After what's his name from Michigan took over we started to hate it. They were just sucking it dry for Oil Nut Bay.
That is when we started renting a villa in Nail Bay. Quieter and we stayed longer.

It's been a while for me, but lately I've been having the urge to go back to Grenada. I've done both sailing charters and land-based trips. This time around, it would be land. I second La Sagesse and True Blue -- though the beach at True Blue is not as nice as others. In particular I've been eyeing La Luna on the southwest side of the island near Morne Rouge (aka "BBC Beach").

You might also look at the L'anse Aux Epines (Prickly Bay) area.

Would love to hear what you decide on.

I remember walking with several crew members along the pathway from Biras to Fat Virgin. There was a small sign along the trail which read "Iguana Crossing". I made the comment "like that's not for real". Then, a crew member pointed down to my feet in the middle of the pathway next to the sign. As if on cue, there was a large iguana which I was getting ready to trip over.

We loved Grenada when we were out there some years back. Our favourite large island in the Caribbean. It is a while back now so things may have changed but we loved La Sagesse. Well away from Grand Anse with a totally different feel. Lots of yachties stay there as it is very convenient for Grenada Marine boatyard and the hotel use to offer discounts to people having boat work done there and free shuttle buses. Another good place, just near the airport was True Blue Bay with the popular Dodgy Dock bar right there. As I said, it was a while ago so things may have changed but those would be my two go to places. If you want to go cheaper, then there are loads of friendly guest house type places along the south coast at Westerhall. I stayed at several but unfortunately can't remember the name of any of them!
