Grenadines Sailing Trip

So the family has decided that this year we along with 3 other Lewis families are going on a sailing trip through the Grenadines for our summer vacation.

A trip to France and England was our initial plan for the family getaway but the cost of airfare was steep steep STEEP!! New ideas needed to be created and explored.

We contemplated the city of New York, northern coast of Jamaica, the rockies in Canada and the list went on. It got to a point were we were not sure if a family vacation was even going to materialize because budget and multiple opinions were not aligning.

But then... we heard that my uncle and his family were heading down (aka sailing through) the Grenadines for a week. Then we found a boat that met our criteria (a/c, 4 cabins, 4 washrooms, catamaran): Leopard 47 Kilkenny Kats. And then we found more family to fill up the two extra cabins on board (aunts, uncles, cousins). Sweet!!

So now that the boat is booked: a count down has been started, an exercise plan commenced and necessary nautical outfits jotted down on a shopping list.


Planning vacations can be stressful but the end result can be amazing!

Let the planning begin!
