Reminising the past 3 weeks

Over the past 21 days, we had the pleasure of entertaining and being entertained by my sister Lorna, brother-in-law Brian, followed by Walter and Dana, sailing friends from Boston. On each of their visits, we had a ball taking them around to our favourite places and restaurants in the Grenadines. We swam many times with the turtles and fish of the Tobago Cays; lazed around beach bars and restaurants; climbed many hills in search of views and cold beers; and read many many books. One of us (Walter) kite sailed many of the 10 days he was with us. The water in these regions is very, very clear and the temperature is warm enough to stay in the water for hours at a time. Next year, I'm not coming back without an underwater camera! It's just crazy to see everything we see and only be able to tell it in words!


Pictured above is Lorna and Brian during their 10 day stay. Check out the incredibly clear water!


Here is Walter enjoying a nap in the hammock...oops, should have taken the rum bottle out of the shot!


Walter and Dana are showing the red snappers served at Seckie's Beach Bar in Chatham Bay, Union Island. We don't even mind the heads and tails being served. Laurie says there's enough meat in the cheeks to put up with a fishhead!
Both couples treated us to meals ashore on a regular basis which we greatly appreciated. Company like we have had is welcome anytime!!


Sadly, Dana and Walter left in the early hours of the morning to catch the 6:30 am ferry to St. Vincent in order to save us the 3-4 hour sail. Notice the long pants...a hot day of travel is in their future.


This is a scene we see over and over again but never get tired of. We don't take any of our days here for granted.

We are planning to leave Bequia tomorrow morning at 4:30 am heading for St. Lucia. The winds here have been very powerful lately, but tomorrow they're calling for quieter weather.

Also, note that I have added Alan's blog to our list of links on the side-bar. Alan's boat is a Pearson 42 named "Unabated". We spent about a week sailing along side him and his gal Beckie and hopefully we'll meet again.

A second Blog I have added today is Catherine and Peter from s/v Charlotte D. (Dinghy named "Her Majesty" They're home is in Cape Breton.

Enjoy!
