Heading for Bequia

We sailed (actually motored most of the way) from St. Georges, Grenada to Hillsbourough yesterday, taking us about 8 hours. Laurie has gone in to town this morning to check out of customs and immigration and we'll set sail for Bequia, a tiny but precious island in the St. Vincent Grenadines. We'll spend a few days there and will continue our trek north.

Laurie made a pot of delicious callilou soup last night for dinner. Of course it's all done up with coconut milk as the base, so of course it's delicious!

Yesterday on our way, we caught a fish. We didn't notice it on the line until Laurie brought it in and we only had the head left! It might have been a baracuda, but it's hard to tell when there is so little of it left for identification purposes!

Our water maker gauge was picked up by a fellow cruiser in Trinidad yesterday. They (Wandering Star) are sailing up from Trini as we speck and we have agreed to meet in Bequia. We've been able to use the watermaker in the meantime and it's working well except we can't keep an eye on the pressure gauge to make sure we don't exceed the pressure limit!

All for now, we'll write again when we get to Bequia.
