Sapphire Sailing Adventures

The island of Bequia in the Grenadines, is an unspoiled jewel. It is especially a draw to sailors. We like to anchor off of Princess Margaret Beach, close enough to swim or paddleboard into shore. There is a great little path into town, past all the beach bars. Tucked behind the Gingerbread House, just down the hill from the one room school house, is a falling apart tennis court. (Used to be $10 to rent the court but this year they have doubled the fee to try to raise money to resurface it.) Better get to the bakery early if you want one of their freshly baked cinnamon buns, as there is always a line waiting for them.
Following the path into town, there are lots of fresh fruit & vegetable stands and Doris’ Fresh Foods can supply any tasty morsels for which you really have a hankering.
There are trails all over the island to explore, if you are into hiking.
On Tuesday nights, Jack’s Beach Bar has a live band, so we get a front row seat from our cockpit as the music wafts over the water.
“Moby, they are offering salsa lessons at the Fig Tree at 9 AM.. We can probably just make it in time.” I laughed, doing a little two-step in the galley, while knowing full well what his answer would be.
