COMMENT: Beach House – MOORED – Soufriere Bay, Petite Piton – St. Lucia

We left at 0830 this morning and with several other boats made the blustery sail from St. Vincent to St. Lucia.
It was 35 miles, took about 4 hours and overall was our nicest sail this season. A bit bumpy at first, but it settled down a few
miles north of the top of St. Vincent. 2 reefs and a staysail to start; we shook the second reef out mid channel.
This is a very dramatic and lovely spot between the main bay and the Petite Piton. \”Tres Dramatique\” …as the French might say…:-)
Everyone so far speaks English.
We\’ll update the blog soon!

Scott and Nikki

COMMENT: Beach House – ANCHORED – Chateaubelair, St. Vincent

We had a nice dinner last night at the Rock Side Cafe. We dinghed over to Walliabou in the next bay where
Pirates of the Caribbean (2&3) were filmed in 2005. There is a small museum, etc. We then motored up here where we
can check out to head to St. Lucia. We don\’t know yet if we\’ll go tomorrow or the next day….as usual; \”weather depending\”…:-)

COMMENT: Beach House – MOORED – Kearton\’s Bay(Indian Gallows), just south of Walliabou. St. Vincent

We went on the Volcano hike yesterday from Langley Park near Georgetown. It was quite difficult and 4 hours round trip. My
shoes literally disintegrated and I ended up doing the last part essentially barefoot! Photos soon.

We went for breakfast in Kingston and have now moved the boat to Kearton\’s Bay where we are moored bow and stern.
We\’ll have dinner at the Rock Side Cafe tonight with Rosie and Olin? as our hosts. We\’ll most likely check out of St. Vincent from here
as there is a customs office. We\’ll wait for a bit less wind for the close reach to St. Lucia.

COMMENT: Beach House – MOORED – Blue Lagoon, St. Vincent Island

We enjoyed the Super Bowl in Bequia at Papa\’s Bar with lots of ex-pat locals.
A bit of fuel and stock up yesterday and this morning in preparation for the 7.5 mile
motor slog to St. Vincent. Now anchored in the Blue Lagoon. We\’ll slowly work up the leeside
over the next many days before heading off to St. Lucia.
