28 August - Wednesday
High Temperature 100ºF - Low Temperature 86ºF
Loads of sun. GREAT wind! Near PERFECT swim conditions.
169 consecutive swim days.

With the end of August we begin the dredded "September month." Now some will say the dread comes from the hurricane season and the usual peak month of storm development. Nonsense - our weather is year round perfect and this includes the month of September. Others will say the dread comes from the temperature that I always report as being 86-100°F.  Nonsense - with our constant Tradewind Breeeeeezes....... the temperature actually feels at least 15° cooler than what the thermometer reports.  Again, year round perfect weather, really. Yet others will say that the dread comes from the rain, after all ~ it is the RAINY SEASON  and you know what that means. Nonsense - unless you know that we get only brief showers and these bring our lush green foilage and colorful flowers out, then you have us confused with other much more "Northern" destinations such as Florida, where a whole vacation can be spent socked-in by the rain outside. Personally, I Dread September Month  ~ because..... The Canouan Beach Hotel is closed from 02-22SEP02 The Anchorage Yacht Club is closed until 04OCT02 Saltwhistle Bay on Mayreau is closed until 01NOV02 The Calallo Restaurant here on Carriacou is closed The Italian Pizzeria here on Carriacou is closed and THESE are some of MY personal favorites  and since I will be OPEN... personally, I DRED September Month. Come Visit Us!

13 August - Tuesday
High Temperature 96ºF - Low Temperature 86ºF
Loads of sun. GREAT wind! Near PERFECT swim conditions.
154 consecutive swim days.

GUESS THE BLOSSOM? Karla from New Jersey guessed correctly. Well done! HOLIDAYS Following the week of Carriacou Regatta Festival hustle and bustle , most of the island folk have now themselves left Carriacou - to enjoy the GRENADA CARNIVAL and a long weekend. The weather here on Carriacou has been near perfect, the white sand beaches without a footprint as I take my daily swim in water warm and clear.  All returns to normal tommorow.

12 August - Monday
High Temperature 96ºF - Low Temperature 86ºF
Loads of sun. GREAT wind! Near PERFECT swim conditions.

153 Consecutive Swim Days The past week or so has been near PERFECT swim conditions. GOOD NEWS for the 37th Annual Carriacou Regatta. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL ~ BusterB The Grenadines.Net Carriacou Cafe Cat He's about 7-weeks old and comes from Windward, Carriacou. His first week here at the Internet Cafe... ~ prefers a wooden clothes pin to a $10 cat toy ~ eats about one box a week of his FRISKIES dry catfood ~ is absolutely FEARLESS and fits into a teacup.

Where Have all the Tourists Gone? Usually by now we have loads of advance reservations already in place for travel to our islands thru next year 2003.  Usually by now we have loads of happy folks escaping their own overcrowded summertime beaches for our wide, sandy ones. Usually.....but not this year. This year arrivals in THE GRENADINE ISLANDS have dropped off 75%! We have the same sunny blue skies.... warm clear water loaded with fish and healthy coral and now empty beaches empty bars & restaurants empty hotels and guesthouses empty everything. EVERYTHING YOU NEED to book a trip is here @Grenadines.Net Come Visit Us! PLEASE.

  Imagine, our friendly agent meets you...with a smile and a small sign as you deplane the steps from your flight arriving Barbados. Get there before 4PM any day and you'll sleep the night here in The Grenadines.  No long lines for customs or immigration for Grenadines.Net "in transit" passengers so it's directly on to your gate and to the waiting private aircraft.  We will worry with your luggage. Then it's a quick, low level 50-minute flight south to Union Island's quaint airport. where you are again met and transferred onto
a real electric mini-cart vehicle just like the one in the movies
and away you go for the quick ride
thruThe Anchorage Yacht Club to the Wooden Jetty where your Speedboat awaits. Depending upon time and amount of daylight remaining,
relax and have a cool, refreshing drink
at The Anchorage Yacht Club Hotel's outside bar.
Watch the definitely live sharks swim around just a few feet away from you.
In a protected pool - NOT where YOU and I swim.
So you can relax now.
These are happy sharks either born right here or nursed back to health in the constantly refreshing natural pool
constructed for their health and happiness. Then it's into the speedboat and a quick ride
across the channel
separating Union Island and Palm Island.
Your skillful boatsman will wind through
the living coral reef... all YOURS to explore. to deposit you on the white sand beach in front of your villa where your friendly maid will be waiting to meet you and bring you inside your lovely beach house. Then it's just relax and enjoy your all-inclusive escape
as it unfolds: internet access, daily maid service, private cook who does your shopping as well, your own private yacht bobbing at anchor outside your door ready for a day trip to Canouan perhaps and 18-holes of champion golf. Relax...  it's all-inclusive, the house, the staff, the private yacht, the skipper, the hostess, the food and the drink....
are all-included and all exclusively yours,
if just for the day.
Ah...  another day in paradise.
