KEARTONS BAY TO BEQUIA, 16 Jan

Short three hour sail to the famous island of BEQUIA. This is reputed to be one of the nicest stops in the Windward islands. So far it doesn't quite make the grade for us. The prices in the shops and restaurants are more shocking than in St Vincent. The anchorage is overcrowded with yachts dragging their anchors in the strong squals here in the bay. Dinghies zooming between boats regardless of swimmers and all the other hassles of mass tourism. However I must be getting 'picky' since we have already been here in the Caribbean almost a month. In reality there are few places in the world that can beat the warm sea, special views and lovely sailing.!
