The sail over to Bequia from Tobago Cays wasn’t that bad, but it did take most of the day. (We’re getting too used to all this convenient island hopping! ) When we arrived, I was blown away by the amount of sailing boats anchored in the bay. Here there was actually space for those really …

First, I’m going to write about the food we’ve had so far that was different. Sunday we went shopping, as we couldn’t do any of the customs and that before Monday. We went to a HUGE shopping mall – the whole place crammed with clothes shops, jewellery shops and fast food places. No super market. …

The last few days have been extremely frustrating, as we had no wind and our engine has decided it will NOT start. We made about 60 miles in two days with the wind that normally accompanies the rain clouds. (Our usual quota was 100 miles a day). We now have the trade winds back, and …
