St. Lucia, tomorrow to St. Martinique
13 November 2015 | St. Lucia - Rodney Bay
Hi family , friends and fellow sailors
we left Grenada for the outer island of Carriacou, still Grenada teritorry. Anchoring there in the Tyrell Bay was nice, clean water, no swell. We spent there a couple of days, one nice Restaurant " Slipway ", went to the main town, Hillsborough, and visited Sandy Island Anchorage.
Leaving there, after oil change and filling up water and fuel, diesel was only 35 cent per liter, easy access to the pier, we sailed to the Grenadines, starting with Petit St. Vincent, Palm Island and Union Island.
Everywhere nice , clear water, part wise good snorkeling, original nice anchorage at Union Island behind the reef and the small Bar island in the middle " Happy Island".
Further some days at Mayreau Island, anchoring at Saline Bay and Saltwhistle Bay .
Than the Tobago Cays, two times, one with bad weather, the second time with nice, sunny weather. Swimming with the turtles, nice snorkeling, very nice colored fish .
Further north we sailed to Canouan Island, anchored at Grand Bay, in front of the Tamarind Hotel and in the north, Little Bay.
From there to Mustique Island, it is a private island, Bill Gates, Mike Jagger and some others having houses there, we made a little round trip by a kind of Golf car, visited the great famous" Barsil Bar" , and anchored three days in the Britania Bay.
Again, clear water, nice swimming. Like all of the places before, we are still in off season , witch is sometimes nice, not as crowded, sometimes not, a few restaurants and shops are closed. And here.... no Mike Jagger, no Hilfinger.... bhhhhhhh.
From Mustique to Bequia Island, beautiful nice anchorage in the big Admiralty Bay , in front of Princess Margaret Beach.
The main town, Port Elisabeth,is a clean small town, some good restaurants around the Bay, all with dinghy docks, crystal clear water, good swimming, one very good Shop for food : "Doris fresh food".
At all places were no problems at all, of course, we hoist the dinghy every night up. But compare to some comments from other sailors and info from noonsite, there were no stress so fare.
Bequia we left at the 29.10.2015 to St. Vincent, spending the first night at the Blue Lagoon. Not half way as nice as described, we left the next morning, as well the next anchorages further north, in front of Young Island was not that good; so we sailed further to the Cumberland Bay.
To set the anchor it is a little tricky , but a picturesque bay like out of one old pirate film.
The last night we spent in the north of St. Vincent in Chateaubelair Bay, quiet but not clear water.
On the 02.11.we left early morning for St. Lucia, made a nice and slow sightseeing around the beaches and bays in the south of the Island, sailed up to Marigot Harbor, a beautiful little bay with hotel and beaches in the passages, well protected place with again clear water.
We met several other sailors there, Dick and Anita from "Kind of Blue "as well as Tom with friend from "Ever After " spent some nights in the bay.
One, for us new ship with Eddy and Gaby, from " Long Tara", a Formosa 46, we met.
We spent nine days the before we left for Rodney Bay, where we are now. By Monday, normally today, but I forgot to check out yesterday, we will move on to Martinique. Season is here now, but still not to heavy, definitely we will be out of the area before the ACR is falling in here with ca 200 Ships , coming from the Canaries.
At the moment we have no fix plan for X mas, maybe St. Marteen..... we will see.
At St. Lucia, during the time in Marigot Harbour, we had heavy rain periods, but now the weather is nice again, wind around 12 - 17 Kts., mostly E - NE.
Guys, hasta la vista, new album with pictures I will put one in Martinique.
