This picture is almost a caractiture of a Caribbean island scene. It is an actual island (very small) just off Petite St. Vincent, a small island with a resort that includes the entire island.

We anchored off Petite St. Vincent (PSV) and had a very nice dinner at the resort restaurant. The beaches that surround most of this small island are dotted with vacation cottages, each with its own private beach complete with chairs and umbrellas. The snorkeling was good, and I saw a lobster hiding under a rock. This would be the place to really get away from everything!

Petite Martinique is very close to PSV, although in a different country. Petite Martinique is part of Grenada, while PSV is part of St. Vincent. Evidently, locals with criminal intentions take advantage of this situation by fleeing to the other jurisdiction. Petite Martinique has several small stores and restaurants along the beach which doubles as the main walkway through town. It reminded me a lot of the smaller islands in the Bahamas. We were pleasantly surprised to find a store which sold fresh lettuce. In fact when we asked about it, the proprieter went out to the garden and picked it! You never know what you will find in these small stores. The same place with the lettuce had a polyglot assortment of various food and fishing items in addition to some hardware.
