Yacht Club Jetty - before the start
Was just looking at the lagoon from our balcony and admiring the fishing boats taking part in the Grenada Billfish Tournament.

This is held every year around this time and we get boats from several of the other islands, with the largest contingent coming from Trinidad.

We did this for a few years as well, with our pirogue 'BlackJack', but not anymore.

With all the large boats taking part now, smaller boats like ours are at a big disadvantage. It is now a tag and release tournament, which basically means that boats only bring in fish which they think will break a record, or which pass a minimum weight to enter for points.

You should be able to see some of the action from webcam2, as we will have it zoomed into the Yacht Club when they return in the afternoon.
