SHORT TIME ICE CREAM FIG TREE and DAFFODIL

HIGH SPEED CAT While we were enjoying our stay at Petit Nevis we saw a charter catamaran arrive with 8 people on board, you know the usual load on one of these.

Daffodil Any cruiser who passes through Bequia soon comes to appreciate the services supplied by this charming lady. [ No smutty thoughts now ! ] water diesel ice bread laundry fresh lobster or fish all delivered to your boat by a well fendered yellow and green boat driven by a young man or lady smartly attired in yellow T shirt.
