 |
| Jeanne and Doug on the
right spent 2 weeks with us. Ron and Judy on the left spent 1 week.
It was a lot of fun when the two couples vacations overlapped by two days.
We toured St. Vincent with Sam's Taxi Tours. Sam does laundry, rents
moorings, organized guided tours... 'anything for a buck'!
|
These little huts are for
rent at an exclusive resort on the island of Canoun.
|
 |
 |
| Ron and Judy in Bequia.
Oh sweet Bequia!
|
Jeanne and Doug at
the stern of our boat.
|
 |
 |
| Sam, from Sam's Taxi,
stopped in the mountains to allow us to purchase a cool drink. The
rural prices are much lower than the prices charged within close vicinity of
our boat.
|
This is 'Saltscar' at
sunset. John and Sue are from Canada, living permanently on their
boat.
|
 |
 |
| Judy, the water baby!
|
Ron couldn't get enough of the sights on the reefs! |
 |
 |
| Jeanne is examining the
breadfruit and mangoes we picked in Bequia.
|
The art of cutting up a
mango. This is our absolute favourite fruit.
|
 |
 |
| Judy has lost Ron in the
falls!
|
Homemade bread. No
problem getting it to rise in the temperatures of the tropics!
|
 |
 |
| Salt Whistle Bay in
Mayreau. We kept coming back to this spot and even celebrated Laurie's
50th at a beach bar.
|
Salt Whistle Bay.
I can still picture Ron standing up to his armpits in water on the sandy
bottom, for over an hour, just appreciating the surroundings!
|
 |
 |
| This is Robert from the
restaurant called "Righteous and de Youths". He had the place
decorated in Bob Marley paraphernalia and grinned continuously! He
helps children on the island of Mayreau by supplying them with pencil and
paper for school.
|
Can you spot the tourist?
|
 |
 |
| Laurie, steering with his
body weight. Our little dinghy was definitely one of the smallest and
wettest.
|
After the haircut back in
the British Virgin Islands, I cut my hair myself and actually liked the
results!
|
 |
 |
| We caught a tuna by
trolling between Canoun and Bequia.
|
Mackerel caught between
Bequia the Tobago Cays. Catching this fish saved the day for Ron.
We got very busy with this guy taking his mind off the business of being sea
sick. In our opinion, the mackerel was better than the tuna!
|
 |
 |
| We met Mike Campbell from
Vancouver Chatham Bay, Union Island. He loved to fish and shared these
barracuda with us!
|
We made the mistake of
leaving this drinking water outside in the sun for a half an hour, only to
find that the sun shone through them and burn the cushions. We're glad
we were on board at the time!
|
 |
 |
| Tobago Cays, where the
snorkeling is superb!
|
How would you like to thaw
out that chicken you bought only to find the feet and the beak?
