We
arrived in Bequia last night, a small island south of the big island
of St Vincent and part of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

This
morning we went to clear in at the post office which was quick,
inexpensive and lovely clearance staff. A really nice welcome to
Bequia. We had a leisurely explore of the town which is small and
didn't take long. I'm excited to be here. The last time we visited
Bequia we were our way to Grenada in June 2009 and since then we've
sailed past without stopping because if you are going north the
islands lie too far east for an easy sail given the west setting
current and usual easterly winds. Approaching from the north at this
time of year is a much kinder approach. Our plan is to spend a couple
of weeks here in Bequia and then meander through the other Grenadine
islands before arriving in Grenada mid July. We have our regular
hurricane season berth booked at Port Louis from 22 July.
