arrived in Bequia

The wind was a bit from the north yesterday but we were able to sail 6 of the 8 hours on our way from Grenada to Bequia. We came into the bay and headed for our favourite spot over by Princess Margaret beach and discovered that Doug and Wendy were anchored there waiting for us! If you recall, their boat is called Nahanni River. We'll get together today for lunch and then they will come aboard tonight for fresh fish caught on the way yesterday!

Yes, we were able to land 2 fish; one was a 32 inch long barracuda and the other was a blue runner barjack. We lost a couple from my line because the rings that hold the triple hooks on was too weak. I guess Marden's isn't the perfect place to pick out the best lure. They certainly bit at it though, it was just not strong enough.

All for now...it's time for morning coffee and listen to Laurie talk to all his buddies on the Ham Radio morning nets!
