Yesterday, John and Alex from the boat "Free Spirit" arrived in Bequia. We spent much time with them last season, but this season, they decided to go west to Bonaire. They left in the late fall and just arrived back yesterday. Kristin and Terry from "Silk Pajamas" and Laurie and I greeted them into the bay with a cold beer and then later spent time over sun downers listening to their wonderful tale of diving and snorkeling in the western Caribbean. It made us all very jealous and we were talking seriously about joining them next year, however, it would have been the wine talking! If we were to go, it's easy getting there, but it's really tough to get back to the Eastern Caribbean since it's all up wind. Something to think about for next season.
All of us will head to the Tobago Cays tomorrow for snorkeling and fun. When we anchor there, we are amoung other sailboats and a few boat boys taking care of our needs for homemade bread, and t-shirts! The little islands around the reefs are not inhabited which makes for great sky gazing at night.
So...off we go and will have not much to report since we won't be doing anything really!
This documents the continuing adventures of Laurie and Dawn on their sailing vessel Cat Tales, a F.P. Tobago 35. The journey began in 2004. cattales35@gmail.com
