Nino, Quicksilver, Sunshine II, Moondance and Just Imagine all arrived in Bequia on March 21 after another good sail. Last year we had met Winfield Sargeant who does varnishing and when he approached us again this time we contracted him to refinish our cockpit doors. Over the course of about two weeks he stripped the old varnish off, put on two coats of primer and then 6 coats of varnish. Looks great!
Winfield also told us that Bequia is allowed to catch two whales a year. This is quite controversial but it is what it is. We saw the whale hunting boat just outside of the harbor chasing a whale and were told that had it. Later we were informed that it had gotten away.
