Bequia

We left St. Lucia at 4:55 am on Tuesday morning and had a great sail to Bequia, arriving here at 3:30 pm. We found our friends Paula and Brian from the boat "Magique" sitting here in the bay and joined them last night for sundowners! Paula and Brian are from Saint John, NB and we spent lots of time last spring here and later on in Salt Whistle Bay with them.

We are expecting John today from "Stopp Knot" complete with his crew of 5. (Robin, and 2 sons, Robin's sister Jane from England and her son.) They were to do an overnighter from St. Lucia, so I expect to see their sails come around the corner any minute. They are all here for the annual Bequia Easter Regatta and will provide racer Edgar from Rodney Bay a bed as well. I think it might be nice if we offered one or two of our empty double berths for some of John's company. The race is from April 1 to 5th, so it will be crazy for 5 days and then we'll watch the bay empty and we'll carry on.
