Day 10 with the Jeffreys

Drinks out on a teeny island off Union Island was a perfect spot for a sunset photo!

We sailed around to Chatham Bay on the windward side of Union Island where we enjoyed a beautiful walk along the beach. Because so many locals arrived at the boat asking us to come in and enjoy their restaurants and bars, we decided that it was only fair to buy a cold brew at each one of them.

Hey, don't worry, it wasn't that difficult! Later on we had dinner at Seckie and Vanessa's Beach Bar which was wonderful fresh fish and conch with a buffet of salads and vegetables. All the time wiggling our bare feet in the sand under the picnic tables! Check out the cat that decided he liked fish too!


In the morning, we headed for Salt Whistle Bay for 2 days. We walked up the steep hill and visited a local restaurant for fabulous meal of chicken with all the fixings. Dawn was able to get the recipe from the cook again so it can be replicated onboard.



We walked the beaches, drifted along the beach with our noodles and did some snorkeling.

We haggled a boat boy for a lovely large red snapper and cooked it up for dinner using the recipe we got from a restaurant in Union Island a few days prior. It was THE BEST FISH EVER! This is now Lorna's new hapy place. Off to Tobago Cays we went for one more night where we snorkled and saw a ray and lots of beautiful fish. It is definately time to purchase an underwater camera to help show you the aquarium like environment we were able to swim in.

This jack fish was caught on the way back to Bequia today and will be dinner tomorrow! Tonight, we'll head into shore and get a fix of Mac's Pizzeria!
