We're in our favourite place in Bequia, part of the St. Vincent Grenadines. The water is crystal clear, the Easter Regatta is just about over and the partying will slow down tomorrow. Easter Sunday was a day off racing for most classes, except the "Fishing Boat" class. They're a sailing vessel that carry about 6 or 7 locals. Some are from Bequia, but many have come from Carricou, Union Island, St. Vincent. Their race ended on Lower Bay where all their support people were gathered to welcome them in. We knew it was going to be a big day down on Lower Bay because boat after boat load came by us filled to the hilt with locals already swilling beer, tipping rum bottles and howling, all at 10:00 in the morning! Many of them came in on the local ferries.
The hell here never ends! Look at those empty cans! This is Alex and John, a British couple from the boat "Free Spirit".
Happy beer drinkers!
Happy, Happy beer drinkers
Lower Bay Beach. We're anchored close to this huge party on Easter Sunday. Music is loud and crazy and from many different locations.

These gals are enjoying the shade of the race boat.
We'll stay put here in Bequia for another few days and then make our way down to the Tobago Cays, where I'll try to get some underwater shots.
