Grenada Tourism Board Boasts Boat Races and Parties

Grenada celebrated the abolition of slavery Monday with Emancipation Day, according to the country's ever-breathless Tourism Board.

Ok, so maybe the board's website is about as understated as a 13-year-old's MySpace page. But what it lacks in subtlety, it makes up in substance. The site organizes info around activities and attractions: You'll find separate portals for those coming to cruise, dive, boat, go hashing and even get married at one of the country's three islands, which include Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.

Last weekend was the Carriacou Regatta. Boaters from neighboring Tobago, Martinique, Antigua and St. Vincent and the Grenadines sailed over to compete. Next weekend the main island will host Grenada Carnival in all its peacock-feathered glory.
