Annual Easter Arts and Crafts Bazaar at True Blue Bay, Grenada.

Easter time at True Blue Bay is one of our favorite times as we always have families staying with us with little ones who enjoy our resort’s pools and playgrounds. It is also nice to see our repeat guests and their familiar faces again. This year is no exception; we can hear lots of giggles by the pools every morning and see smiling happy little faces all around the place. Our new playground has definitely been a big hit this year as well as the bubble making program at Aquanauts dive center. Our Chef and cooks have been busy, busy preparing lots of dishes from our very popular kids menu.

The preparations for our Annual Easter Bazaar and Kids' Easter Egg Hunt are almost done. Last year we had quite a lot of participants and this year, we hope, will be no exception.

We have the Easter Eggs all ready to go; the vendors for the Bazaar are preparing their crafts and other goods to sell for the day.

This year, we are encouraging the local artists and craftspeople by giving prizes for the most innovative craft, the most ecofriendly craft, and the craft made with 100% local products. We are very excited to see the results and the creativity of our local Grenadian People.

We will also have the Grenada Discovery Train running between the Spiceland Mall and True Blue Bay Resort as a special treat. The charge is only EC$10 roundtrip for adults; kids accompanied by parents will ride for FREE.

If you are visiting Grenada this coming Saturday April 23rd from 10am to 5pm, come to True Blue Bay Resort and have the opportunity to see some of the best Arts and Crafts Grenadians have to offer all in one place! A great opportunity to get your island souvenirs too.

Kids' Easter Egg Hunt will be at 1pm, refreshments, tropical cocktails, Calypso BBQ and great music will be available all day.

Island jewelry, clothing, locally made spa products, carvings, paintings, batiks, beach wear, souvenirs, etc

On Easter Saturday and Sunday, it is also a Grenadian tradition to fly kites at Quarantine Point park; this is also a great activity for families visiting Grenada for Easter. The view of the island from this breezy location is truly spectacular. Make sure to buy your kites in advance, you will probably see local people selling them on the streets. Also, don’t forget to bring a hat, sun block and drinks for the kite flying, as it can get quite hot.

True Blue Bay Resort Grenada At Digicel Workboat Regatta 2011

The excitement and thrill of workboat racing has been very much embedded into our culture. It’s a tradition for sailing villages such Gouyave, Worburn, Carriacou and Petite Martinique which have been competing for years. It’s one of the few times in Grenada where the generation gap is mended as the art of workboat building and racing is passed on.

At this regatta, we surely experienced the excitement as many of the races were very competitive. You could not have predicted who would win the race. This had the onlookers very anxious and nervous.

It was a fun time. They had a tug-of-war competition of adults and kids hosted by Body and Soul Gym. Also, there was live music with the Digicel Steel Pan Orchestra and the Roots Band.

Workboat racing promises to get bigger every year as it has become a part of the Grenadian Culture. We can't wait for next regatta and we hope you will attend to experience the excitement. We guarantee you will enjoy!!!

True Blue Bay Resort Grenada at Port Louis Sailing Festival 2011

From January 28th to February 1st was the Camper & Nicholson Port Louis Grenada Sailing Festival 2011. This year 38 yachts were participating, which was a bit lower than last year. Most of the foreign yachts came from Trinidad and Barbados; however, we were honoured to see yachts from Brazil and Germany as well.

Among them was our very own Triumph, Contessa 40. Triumph belongs to our Owner/General Manager, Mr. Russ Fielden. Although we did not win anything, we had a ball of a time sailing. It seems that we had the slowest yacht, so imagine what our position was at the end.

There were 7 races and they were all held on the southern coast of Grenada. The most exciting races were at Point Salines where the wind was about 18 to 20 knots and the seas 6 ft. Point Salines is the southern tip of Grenada and where the Caribbean Sea meets and Atlantic Ocean.

The racing was quite competitive as we witnessed numerous "near miss" collisions at buoys.

The Overall winner was Peter Morris and Jaguar (Frers 43) from Trinidad. Congrats to them and every person and yacht present. We look forward to seeing them next year. We at True Blue Bay will be there too!!!!

BIOGRAPHY
Lisa Williams

Lisa Williams is an experienced holistic therapist and teacher of yoga, meditation and stress management. After completing her BA (Hons.) in Social Psychology at the University of Sussex, U.K., she went on to train in Holistic Massage, Anatomy and Physiology at the Wilbury School of Natural Therapy in Hove, East Sussex, gaining an I.T.E.C. (Distinction), and then in Advanced Massage from the Equilibrium Centre in Lewes, East Sussex.. She has a 200 hour teacher's certificate (recognised by the Yoga Alliance) from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram in Tyrol, Austria. She has taught both group and private classes, from beginners to advanced, in Grenada, St.Vincent, London, Surrey and Edinburgh. She gained her Reiki (II) practitioner level in London from Buddhist nun Sama Helen Jeffries. Her classes have been featured on the BBC Holiday programme and she has received glowing reviews from Vogue (UK), The Times, and The Financial Times.

What Definitive Caribbean had to say about Lisa

Whether you are a stressed-out city type, a full time parent, or someone just trying to enjoy their retirement, it can be hard to find the time or space to unwind in the modern world. Sometimes a little help can come in handy. This is where Lisa Williams comes in. Lisa is a British/Grenadian therapist who trained in the UK and now lives and practices from her home in Petite Martinique, the Grenadian island next door to Petit St Vincent.

Lisa will visit you at your cottage, discuss in confidence what you feel you need to tackle, and devise an individual programme to suit your needs. Lisa works at a holistic level so she will begin with a Lifestyle Evaluation so that you both become aware of your mental, physical and emotional health, before setting goals and offering techniques such as meditation, stress management and yoga for the duration of your stay and as long as you care to use them to resolve any issues that come up.

Meditation can involve breath work and the use of sound to improve your level of connectedness with your surroundings. Stress Management teaches you to prevent and control the amount of stress in your life by visualising priorities and choices as well as practicing effective time management. Yoga works physically to strengthen and tone your body, but also to nurture your emotional health and is just as suitable for beginners as it is long term practitioners. The setting of the cottages at Petit St Vincent, with their views of the Atlantic, cool ocean air and the background wash of the waves on the reef, is perfect to help you pursue these activities.

True Blue Bay Resort, Grenada April 14 2010


Yesterday we had the most amazing sun over Grenada


These rings are caused by ice crystals within thin cirrus clouds, and there several different kinds of sun rings you can see depending on the weather conditions
When you're looking for halos, or rings around the Sun, make sure you always shield both eyes from the Sun. Even looking at the Sun for an instant can cause permanent eye damage.
