[[preprinted]] 60 [[/preprinted]] Grenada 28.

[[margin]] I-30-36 [[/margin]] Got up earlier than usual and finished packing. After breakfast I went up to the Police Station to return the copy of the "Grenada Handbook for 1915" that the chief had lent me. He wasn't there. Then I tried [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] at several stores to buy a socket wrench to fit the nuts on the motorcycle crate. No one even knew what I wanted. The garages apparently don't use them. Went to Huggins to pay for the motor freight $6.00, lighterage $3.00. The manager gave me a letter to the agents in St. Vincent, asking them to give the crate special attention. We gave Ronald, Effie, and the other maid their tips, and got Cromwell to take care of our bags for us. When we arrived they charged us $6 for the luggage, but this time only asked 6/-. I gave the boy that did the carrying &/-, and Cromwell 1/-.
I left our forwarding address with Huggins and Ruth wrote in the Hotel Guest Book. Mr. Jackson refused to charge me for the place he gave me to store the motorcycle, and was very anxious to have our good recommendations. Before we got into the launch at 10 A.M., I went to the Post Office, and found about 6 letters and 2 Registered ones. Two were from Ruth's family, one from Martha, Mother, & Daddy (for my birthday), and one from Bierig in Cuba.

Grenada 29, final.
Grenadines 1, final.
When we got aboard the Nerissa, I took a photo of the northern part of the town. (Exp. 1/100 & 20). We sailed at 11 A.M. and we passed the northern end of Grenada during lunch.

As we approached the northern part of Grenada, the southern Grenadines came into view. First Isle Ronde -rather flat, with the smaller Isle de Caille at the south end, and the rugged Diamond Rock or Kick-em-Jenny (Cay qin gene) beyond; then Carricou appears, with Union projecting [[margin]] Photo #65 [[/margin]] from behind. After we passed Union, which appears to be rather similar to Carriacou, we saw in succession: Mayaro, Cannouan, Mustique -in the distance but rather flat, Baliceaux -also in the distance [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] but steep and rugged, Isle Quatre, and finally Bequia -second largest of all.
Compared with the leeward side of Grenada or St. Vincent, the sea is quite rough through these small islands, as there is a clear sweep in from [[strikethrough]] T [[/strikethrough]] the Atlantic.
Took a photo of Union as we passed. I think the exposure was 1/100 & 22.
The channel between Union and Carriacou is about 14 fathoms.
