Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

With the clearing skies its time to bid adieu to Shawn and Sharon. Taxi has been ordered.

Last night we walked the town/village and found a nice restaurant with a balcony that over looking the blue lagoon where we are moored. The fish de jour was MahiMahi so we let them serve us instead of grilling up the catch.

The forecast shows the overcast skies going away and the winds clocking more to the north but also weakening. We are thinking about heading to cannouan but will formulate those plans along the way.

The Mahi Mahi has landed

Easy/Lazy day, got up early then went ashore to clear Shawn and Sharon off the boat, before we left Bequia. Walked around bought some supplies for more frozen umbrella drinks on the boat, and a little food too.

Chatted with the locals as we explored their little city, and got some ‘respect’ from the locals when you buy some fresh home grown veggies from the local vendors, mangos, limes and bananas for the mixed drinks.

About noon, we bailed on going to Mustique and decided to sail across to Blue Lagoon, St Vincent. As usual the wind changed directions just enough to be coming directly from Blue Lagoon where we wanted to go so if you are following the Spot Track you will see a few tacks, and one pretty good side Fish.

Interesting anchorage, tricky entrance and full of mooring balls, but we are here and its close to the airport for tomorrows flight out.

Back to the Ledo Deck, and soak in a few rays between the possible afternoon showers.

After a long sail day, 72 miles we arrived in Bequia and dropped the hook. Cleared customs and are now in St Vincent and the Grenadines. EseaClear made clearing customs a lot easier, filling out the paperwork online they were able to print and file it quite quickly. Immigrations was also pretty easy, and the guy there said I could come back in the morning to sign Shawn and Sharon off the boat instead of trying to find the place over on St Vincent, so I’ll probably do that after breakfast.

We had dinner a shore @ L’Auberge des Grenadines known for the lobster dinners, and they did a stupendious job. Normally they have a band on tuesdays, but not last night. Dinner was yummy and we had a 10 minute walk back to the dingy. Christine stopped to pet a doggie and it jumped up on her breaking her brand new island special necklace.

A large sailing cruise ship the Club Med came into bay and anchored a few hundred feet behind us so we decided to dingy around it on the way back to the boat, made for a wet ride back to the boat for a game or two of dominos.

Wednesday is going to be a exploring day, and we’ll end up in St Vincent this eve.
