We have joined up with Brian and Paula from Magique here in Salt Whistle Bay and will hike with them up the steep hill this afternoon for a lunch at "Righteous and de Youths". Robert Righteous is an entertaining rasta who will sit down and pour himself drinks while he tells you how things are going on the island. In the past, we have taken quite a few guests with us to visit Robert and it's always an interesting afternoon.
On Monday, we'll visit the school here and pass along all the Moosehead Light sports balls we collected while at home last summer. If you recall, if you bought a dozen Moosehead Light in cans, you got a free ball. Richard Brogan, from across the cove in Grand Lake, NB, helped us collect them and it's now time to give them away to a good cause!
When we sit here on anchor and look at this lovely stretch of beach, I can still see Ron Roy standing in the water up to his waist about 4 years ago when they visited us. He stood there most of the afternoon with a big grin on his face, totally at peace with the world, giving thanks primarily to the absolute beauty of the bay! Later that year, Laurie and I came back here where we celebrated his 50th birthday. We love this spot! As we're somewhere near the end of the season, there are fewer boats here, just as it was also getting very quiet in Bequia.
(If any of our usual sources of information in Fredericton are reading, we wouldn't mind a report of the news and social goings on. We feel we're losing touch with many people and events.)
