Wind Wind Hike and Polish
14 February 2018 | Admiralty Bay - Bequia

We are still on the mooring In Admiralty Bay in Bequia.
It’s been windy every day with gusts over 30 knots even in the relatively sheltered bay.
None the less we have been busy and enjoying ourselves.
On Saturday we had a massive tidy up of the front cabin ready for Eddie and Julie to arrive. We scrubbed out the lockers below and polished all the teak. We also washed all the cushion covers throughout the boat. Infinity looks splendid.
On Sunday we went on one of Mandy’s long hikes. We always feel so much better after a long walk, although I might occasionally complain about them.
We walked right over to the Atlantic coast past the Sugar Reef, to beyond Crescent Bay and the Turtle Sanctuary. We had an excellent lunch at The Firefly overlooking the sea and the plantation. We walked back via Marley Bay with spectacular views out across the Atlantic with the waves smashing on to the reefs.
On Monday we went shopping and bought a very comfy new pillow for me, some sims for the phone and iPad and lots of vegetables.
On Tuesday we took the dinghy across the bay to Grenadines Sails for templates to be made for a smart new cover.
We then went for another long hike upto Hamilton Fort (Mandy’s mother was a Hamilton) and right round the bay to Princess Margaret’s Beach (Mandy’s mother was Margaret too) and then back.
In the evening the Lars and Susanne (Swedes) from Sea Wind and Reg and Nicky from Blue Velvet cam onboard for drinks.
Today Max is going for a small operation in Edinburgh and will be off work for a week. We hope all goes well and I’m sure Berry will take great care of him as always.
