A Happy Return To Beautiful
Bequia
We left Hillsborough at 08:45 for the thirty three mile sail to
Bequia on the 2nd December
Thought I'd better slip in a Skipper Hoisting
We had a cracking sail and as we
approached we saw a rainstorm off St Vincent - plenty of charter boats about
A stunning
day
Still
fascinating
Star
Clipper in Harbour
She is just shy of four hundred feet,
usually has a crew of one hundred and two hundred guests. We spoke to one of the
guests who told us that this was her first cruise in the Caribbean this season.
She spends half the year in the Mediterranean and half here. On this particular
cruise she had just over a hundred cruisers and everyone was having a really
good time. You can see her size compared to the forty foot catamaran. The little
boat at her front right is the shuttle ferry used to get the passengers ashore
for fun in the sun. As it passed me as I was having a swim off the back of Beez,
I saw the start of the word Lux......., I assumed Luxury. When it went back the
other way, I saw it from the other side and saw Bourg. I asked Bear what he
thought Bourg was just as more happy cruisers were being shuttled to the beach.
He said,
Perhaps if
you put the two bits together it may indeed say Luxembourg.

So here is a pretty picture of
"LuxuryBourg" in all her glory
Still my favourite house. Some pretty
houses. Bear said I see the lady still has her washing
out - "yes dear, she still has her market stall" - silly
boy.
We didn't go ashore as we were only
here for the night under the yellow flag. The town
and ferries looks just as we remember it, looking forward to spending longer
here next time
All lit up and a huge
full moon
ALL IN ALL BLISSFULLY
