Now in Bequia

Another small gem of an island. Everyone up by 6am and eating eggs for breakfast. The skipper has 'disappeared' to buy croissant and baguette. The 'tough' plan is to be in Mustique for Christmas!

Christmas Charter

After a relaxing day moored off Pigeon island in St Lucia Valerio and Carla have taken their clients to the first stop on the island of St Vincent, one of the least spoilt and  genuine islands in the Caribbean -a truly beautiful place . St Vincent in the Grenadines, is part of the Windward Islands in the south Caribbean, and was the production base for Pirates of the Caribbean. The harbour of ‘Port Royal’ was built at Wallilabou Bay (the dock and a part of facade have been left, along with many coffins!), and the small town set (which has now sadly gone) at Chateaubelair.

Next stop Bequia.

Some fish..........and other things

Proud fishermen 

What fish is this?
