After sailing south from Antigua in two short hops, we met friends Tom & Sue Boyle and Ken & Barb Hodge in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia. A few exhilarating sails later we arrived in beautiful St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The sailing is marvelous with each anchorage as pleasant as ever. Blue Pearl has been performing quite well, keeping Capt. Steve busy, but without too many problems. Instead of boat issues, we have been lucky to spend our time diving, swimming and exploring. We found Happy Island just off the coast of Union Island, the home and bar business of a typical Caribbean entrepreneur.
Built by just adding to the original conch shell foundation, it now stands on concrete, surrounded by water, awaiting the inevitable hurricane.
