The following blog was written by Judy (and Ron) who is visiting us in Bequia as we were enjoying the racing boats sailing by us today:
We met Dawn and Laurie at the Blue Lagoon in Kingston, St.
Vincent on Friday afternoon and were treated to a delicious meal aboard Cat
Tales. We had breakfast in the marina outdoor
cafe then left the island for a 8 nautical mile sail across to Bequia. The captain said it was one of the best sails
of the season; great wind and waves on the stern quarter, meaning no salt on the
deck. What also made it spectacular was
we came into Admiralty Bay during one of the first races of the Bequia Easter Regatta. Talk about a front row seats to all the
action!!
The weekend was spent snorkelling on the reef right off the
back of the boat; going for a walk around the bay on the newly opened boardwalk;
watching the races from the cockpit with
all the different sailing vessels; listening to the never ending celebrations
on the beach; the dining experience at L'Auberge; sundowners and snacks aboard S/V
Aspen with Maria and Steve and the closing/awards ceremony at the Gingerbread
Hotel restaurant. We can't think of a
better way to spend a long holiday weekend than on a boat with great friends in
the sunny Caribbean sea!
