Photos of hiking up "Big Hill"



The other day, we posted a blog about a hike up "Big Hill" on Union Island.  Laurie and I hiked it the other day and the view was breath taking.  Here are a few pictures to accompany the blog from March 21st.

"Big Hill" is on the right.  We have yet to conquer Mt. Taboi on the left!
Stairs to start the hike...how lovely!  That was the last of a civilized path we saw!
A view of the marina that didn't make it!  Work stopped in the late '90's.

Just walking up, up, up...earning the lunch beer!

Laurie enjoying the view.  Check out the sweaty, wet shirt!

Checking out our dinghy at the dock!

Cat Tales anchored in the middle of the 3 boats off Frigate Rock

Really neat rock formations at the top of 'Big Hill'

Frigate Rock with Petit St. Vincent in the background
Another day, this is a view of Clifton's anchorage off the reef.  We have anchored there often, but not this trip.

Petit Martinique (owned by Grenada...go figure!)
A view of Petit St. Vincent taken from Petit  Martinique - check out the colours!

Kite making and flying is big here.  Such a simple design and they fly so great!

Just when you want to take a picture of your little boat, these monsters came by to ruin the picture.  Notice Kristin in the dinghy waving!
