Last day in Bequia

We spent our last day in Bequia stowing stuff on the boat and getting ready for our trip over to Union Island.  We met Friends aboard IP-38 Salty Shores for cocktail and compared notes on some boat projects.  Without a doubt this is the nicest 38 I've ever seen.  The owner has replaced the teak and holly sole, improved the reefer, the teak looks great and all of the stanchions have been replaced, the hull is in great shape and the boat just looks superb.

I cleared customs yesterday morning then we sailed over to Union Island and are now in Clifton.

On the way over I took a few pictures.

Over the past several seasons I've posted photos of the ship wrecks lining the shores in Portsmouth, Dominica (and those at anchor waiting to go ashore in the next storm).  One of the captains in Portsmouth who own a number of derelicts brough this one down and left it fo the folks on Bequia earlier this year.

As we approached Mayreau on our way down I got a picture of a very crowded Salt Whistle Bay.  This is a very pretty small Bay on the North end of the island but it is almost always overcrowded like this, usually with large charter cats but now we've noticed that some sport fishers are starting to appear.

As we sailed down the West side of Mayreau, near Saline Bay, I took this photo of the town.  Very interesting colors.  All of the Islands in the Southern Grenadines are suffering a very serious drought.  Will be interesting to see how Grenada is fairing in this regard as we move further South.

Today I'm going ashore to checkout a WiFi access Point then we will zip across the channel to Hillsborough, Carriacou.
