    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.

    KIT, Scott and Nikki

    A bit of a blustery day, but only a 2 hour trip from Bequia to Mustique.
    The \”R&F\”…Rich and Famous are in the house. We cannot take cameras ashore or go outside of a 500 meter by 200 meter zone for
    visitors. One of the hotels,\”Cotton House\” is shut to visitors as well. I\’m sure we\’ll hear the rumors of whose \”in the house\” at Basil\’s Bay Bar late this
    afternoon! Mick Jagger and David Bowie have two of the 90 homes here. Moorings are free, park fee is 75.00 USD for boats under 70 feet for three days.
    We have 19 sailboats and two \”Mega Yachts\” here as well.

    Pronounced \”Beck-way\”. There are about 150 boats here now and MANY more expected over the next few days.
    Blog tomorrow!…

    We\’ve been trying to get settings on the website so that the position report will only be sent \”direct\” to those who want it.
    Hopefully it will NOT go out to everyone on the email list any longer.
    FaceBook folks will still get the position reports too. It\’s a WIP (Work in Progress)….
