Day 5: Chilling in Carriacou

Hi bloggers - Mr D is back...

Well we all made the 9AM ferry although Ben Jones' room didn't pass the room check and delayed as all - fines tonight I think!

The ferry journey to Carriacou was fantastic as we moved northwards. The secenery was simply stunning as the island of Carriacou came into view. As they say it is a small world and we spent some time talking to a couple on holiday from Lytham. If the Head is reading this, we used the opportunity to market the school after learning that the family are KEQMS supporters! Hopefully a complementary brochure will show them how good we are and will convert them! After a transfer to the hotel with the apt name, "Grand View", looking over the bay, the afternoon was spent relaxing before facing three matches in the next three days in 90 degree heat - I'm glad I just an umpire!

Mr Whalley and Mr Duncan took some of the lads to the main harbour where the pied piper Ben Jones and his followers went fishing with the locals. Mr Painter stayed by the pool (no speedos today - he has packed them in the bag left on Grenada - what a shame I hear you all say!) and umpired a bizarre game of water cricket. I'm not sure this in the MCC rulebook but never mind, the boys seemed to love it!

After dinner tonight minds need to focus on the challenges that lie ahead with 3 tough games coming up. I am sure the boys will rise to the challenge!

PS Mr Harrison is looking like one of the red paint colour charts you get from B + Q - first aid required I think!
