Bequia Easter Regatta Begins

Yesterday before the Races started the Luxury Cruise ship Sea Cloud came in and took a spot behind us.  We see  the Sea Cloud and her sister ship Sea Cloud2 , beautiful barques, out here every season.  Accommodations are supposed to be excellent aboard and they were certainly well situated for the start of the races.

As the morning progressed the races got underway starting about 10:00AM with the last start about 2:00PM.  There are more racers here this year than there were last and the bay is certainly more crowded that we have ever seen it.  We even had a Canadian Cat come in and talk about taking our "mooring ball" - actually our anchor float - but I'm sure we could have gotten $30.00 US per night for it!

I talked with a fellow at the town dock yesterday, Adrian, who as it turns out in now running a new restaurant in the old Daffodil building on the North shore of the Bay.  The restaurant is The Deck House Waterside Bar and Grill  We went ashore today for lunch and it was superb.  They change the menu often and have different lunch and dinner menu's, and it is definitely worth a visit.
