Grenada - First Impressions

One of our first land excursions in Grenada was an island tour, arranged by the cruiser's net that broadcasts daily.
Our hopes were to meet fellow cruisers as well as explore the island.
We were surprised to find that most of the cruisers are still in transit, the preferred destination being Trinidad. The benefits being: location (re:hurricanes), the value of their dollar, availability of yacht services; the detriment: crime - not as safe as Grenada, however many of those heading there have reservations for marinas that are gated with pools, excellent services and other amenities. We haven't found many that plan to stay on anchor.
The nationalities of the cruisers we've met so far are: Brits, South Africans, Americans, Germans, Swiss and Austrians. We know there are some Canadians out there, however our paths haven't crossed just yet.
Our intentions are to use Grenada as our home base for the next 5 months. We will explore Grenada's vast, extensive natural beauty on land as well as the water. When the weather allows we will make trips north to "play" in the Grenadines and south to visit friends in Trinidad.
