Gosh how beautiful is this place! These little islands are not inhabited and are part of a national park. The park rangers come around and collect after you tie up to a mooring ball. You can't wait to dive in
I've been looking forward to swimming with sea turtles and boy were they here. Hundreds of them grazing on the bottom like cows. Was fun just watching them
Also saw many tropicals and tried to take pictures. Is hard holding on in current and operating the camera at the same time.aybe some came out okay
These islands are very close together so it only takes an hour or two to move to the next

Again pestered by the boat boys.
Bought 4 coconuts from a guy trimming palms back on Canouan and opened some. They were in the gelatinous stage which is very good.
Went snorkeling and saw many small lobsters. Was much fun watching Dorsha trying to catch them with his hands. He would jerk back just as soon as they wiggled. They were only about 5" long and he is a very big guy

Arribed here after a pleasant sail. Only cranked the motor to up anchor and set. No fish today so we will eat some more of Mr Mackeral tonight

We are in the Grenadines now. Had a long 48m trip here. Left 4:30 this morning. We caught a nice Cero Mackeral, hooked a sailfish momentarily and saw a small whale directly under the boat
Having trouble loading this site on my computer but will upload pics when on again
Got to attend a local church Sunday and enjoyed listening to Thomas their new pastor. No men there at all just women and children

This is a fishing village and we are using it to stage for our crossing to Bequia.
We went ashore and had a delightful lunch at Antonies Old Plantation Yard. All food was local fare and nicely done.
Will up anchor about five in morning. Our Argentine friends are at the restaurant with us tonight.

What a georgeous harbor this is. So far the prettiest yet small but high cliffs on two sides. The only detraction is the damn boat boys who meet you in small boats, dinghys or whatever floats. They want to sell you mooring balls, straw hats, fruit or anything. One was even dressed like Santa.
George Foreman even has a home on the south hill. I was told that he is from here.
We got brave and hiked up a hill and caught a bus to Grand Anise on the Atlantic side. Well, not a bus but a van. I swear I don't know how they got us jammed in, but for only 5 EC that was great. Grand Anise is industrial and after walking around some we were ready to go back to our beautiful anchorage.
