Bequia

Got up this morning and was finally able to get into the Internet to check weather. Had been looking for an opening to move North to Bequia but it kept looking like the weather was not going to cooperate till later next week. Got a break and looked like the weather would be OK for the trip today so we picked up anchor and moved around to Hillsborough so we could clear out of Grenada.

Just before we approached Union Island we saw an "Ocean Going Refrigerator" - no door on but just floating along in the wind. Lesley wanted to call a Securite on the radio but never did. We had to alter course to avoid the thing though!

Had a pretty good trip, one large squall with 35+ knots of wind, rain and confused seas for about 30 minutes - otherwise the trip was fine.

We had so much rain over the past two days that we were able to catch enough water from the deck to fill the tank - think we must have captured at least 20 gallons overnight last night.

Saw a very large group of small dolphins on the way here today - nice because we had not seen much in the way of marine life yet this winter.

Heating water for showers now and getting ready to relax.
