THE PLAN

Emily of Cowes will arrive in Tyrell Bay, Carriacou on Saturday 27th Jan and on the 28th at 10.30 am we will meet for a practice sail. This gives anyone flying in from Grenada on the Sunday morning SVG Air flight plenty of time to get to the boat. The prize giving is on the evening of Friday 2nd Feb. Emily of Cowes will move north to Antigua sometime soon after that.
