Ke 'Ola Kai - "Life on the Sea": Caribbean Nautical Adventures

Every sailor knows the truth: buying the boat is just the down payment on a never-ending adventure in “creative financing.” ⚓ From rigging to bottom paint to that mysterious leak you swear wasn’t there yesterday, the ocean always finds a way to keep your wallet on a diet.

But here’s the thing—we keep feeding the machine anyway. Not because it makes sense on paper, but because every dollar tossed into the abyss buys us another sunrise at sea, another night under the stars, another reminder that freedom isn’t free… but it sure is worth it.

So yes, boat ownership is like a vending machine that never stops taking quarters. But the prize? A life you can’t put a price on.

Yesterday, I visited Hartman Cove Marine Services in Mt. Hartman Bay a new yacht haul-out and dry storage facility set to enhance Grenada’s marine and yachting sector. With its custom-designed 44-ton Marine Travelift and 32-foot inside clear width, the facility can easily accommodate catamarans, providing safe, secure, and expertly managed services for vessels. I met with Peter “Champy” Evans, Project Developer, and David Roberts, Junior Developer, to discuss the plans and potential of this investment in strengthening our marine industry and positioning Grenada as a premier destination for yachting in the region.
