Day 20

Author: Katie F.
Location: West End, Tortola
Well, we finally reached our last day aboard the Grenade. We started off the day with a quick breakfast and then began our race. We raced from Norman Island to Road Town to Peter Island. The Grenade put up a great fight with Javier at the helm and had some great tacks. We finished ahead of Pine and Watermelon, so overall we were happy with the finish. We began the mega clean while still underway and continued in West End. The clean was fantastic and we got done in record time. The crew worked so hard and no complaints were heard when even the fridge pump spurted rotten eggs and sour milk. We finished the clean around 2:15 and then ventured into Harbor Market for a snack. At 3:15 we went to the hospital in Road Town to visit Luis, who has tonsillitis. We said goodbye and came back to West End at 4:45. Now we are going to shower on the dock and are headed off to the final BBQ of the trip. It's going to be a sad night of goodbyes, but it's been an amazing trip. Thanks to everyone for making this trip possible. Signing off for the last time from the Grenade- skipper Katie F.
