So as a reward I went for a walk on the shore then over to the other side of the Island where I found a turtle sanctuary run by a local retired fisherman. I am going back when I have more time and will see if I can help in some way. Baby turtles often grow "coats" of algae [like boats] and need scrubbing clean [like boats].
Bequia has a ski jump
On the way back I noticed the training ground for the next Caribbean winter Olympian. After the Bobsleigh, and the Iditarod we have the skijump. However on closer inspection I found out that it is just someones front drive. I hope their brakes never fail, it is seriously steep.
I treated myself to a late lunch out and then a swim and snorkle on the Devils Table a local reef which has claimed many a charter boat even though it is clearly marked by a pole.
The charge of the charter boats.
Here they come, at least now they take a mooring, before they would throw an anchor overboard and be in the dinghy heading for a happy hour before the boat had settled back on it's anchor.
Dramatic sunset again - just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteAnd scrubbing is something you have a lot of experience these days.
Weather here still good, so the garden is brown and a hosepipe ban is on the near horizon.
I love the sunsets, please post more pictures of them.
The noise from the charter parties must spoil some of the evenings but I do envy you the life.
I have had more problems with noise from shore based parties than other boats.
ReplyDeleteTo much money spent on rally BIG sound systems!
Mind you I am really glad to lose my neighbour from last night. They run a generator continously!
