Markham Twyla

Last day. The sailing has been good, the food great, the sites beautiful and interesting. The weather perfect if not a bit too hot for this prairie boy coming fresh out of winter.

Another long day. Once we cleared the north tip of St Vincent we had 20 knots of favourable winds and we made good time. A short day tomorrow and then prepare for the trip home.

Checkout Rock-Side Café on St Vincent. We’re in a small quiet bay. It looks like there is interesting snorkeling. The shoreline is interesting and we have a cave 20 meters from the boat.

Fabulous sail. Winds steady up to 20 knots, single reef, top speed 8.5 knots.

We thoroughly enjoyed our anchorage last night. Today’s anchorage not so much. We encountered very aggressive and belligerent boat boys today. Enough so to make me want to go somewhere else next time we charter. Maybe back to BVI or Croatia.

Short trip today. Now we restore the pantry.

Short trip today through some dangerous waters. Many reefs, rocks and currents. Thank goodness for good charts, GPS, and good navigating skills. We are on a mooring ball for the next two nights. It’s a lovely location. This afternoon we go snorkeling and walk the beach. This evening we have 6:00 pm reservations for a lobster bbq on the beach.

The trip wasn’t really this long. After dinner I remembered that I hadn’t closed the trip. 🤦‍♂️ oh well.

Long day, hard at times. We discovered our dinghy takes on water. We had approximately 250pounds of water in the dinghy as we pulled it through the water. It was quite a sea anchor. The next 7-8 days we explore the smaller islands of the Grenadines. We should get some great photos.
