Dawn here:
We sailed here (Nevis)yesterday after a 2 hour tour of St. Kitts. Since we were there in 2005, there has been so much development, it's unbelievable! The customs officer showed us some of the plans and was he was quite pleased with all the work and opportunities for the island. It may become another one of those Mega Yacht places, complete with the prices to go with it, much like St. Barths and parts of St. Martin.
We arrived in Oualie Bay and met up with Walter on "Madness"!! How mad is that? His company had gone off for a hike for the day so he jumped in his dinghy and delivered a round of Carib anchoring beer. This cove is absolutely beautiful. It has very pretty little cottages on the sandy beached shore with lots of palm trees and mountains in the background. If anyone ever wanted to come visit us and wish to NOT do the boat thing, it would be great place to book in and do day sails with us. The
name of the resort is called Oualie Resort. I have no idea how expensive it is, but after talking to a patron last night at the restaurant, she said it would only be about a 3 star, but they come every year because of the quaintness of the place. They rent a car and really get around.
Today, we'll do an early morning hike with Walter, Ken and Leeanne up to "The Source" which is, I believe a waterfall. They said it could be fairly aggressive, so I'll let you know if my legs still work at the end of the day!
Hopefully by the afternoon, we will have sailed to Pinney Beach, just a few miles around the corner. It's a long, long sandy beach with beach bars and restaurants. Within the next couple of days, we plan to head for Monsterrat.
Take care all,
Dawn
