Sailing the Grenadines
The sails of ships in the southern Caribbean Style. Jambalaya was built in Carriacou, a historic center of the Caribbean, the boat building trade, using technqiues that are rapidly being lost to modernization. The keel is made of greenheart, a wood so dense it sank. Wood for the faraming had to be cut in the bush in Grenada - a laborious and exhausting process, because the wood had to be good form to take the boat. The process, which included local restrictions such as cutting wood when the moon is in decline, took three years and the 65-foot schooner was finally launched in 2003.
