Canouan

Sailed from Bequia this morning and had a nice gentle sail south to Canouan. We ae anchored in a small bay all by ourselves.

On the shore there is a landing stage just like the one in Torrisdale (but in a slightly better state of repair). They obviously use it to land building materials. We watched one of the locals "salvaging" some steel reinforcing rods.

The north end of the island is a gated community for the super rich.The local said it was all mafia money!!

The snorkelling is great. You will have seen the great shoals of fish swimming on nature programmes. Well, I was right in the shoal with millions of fish all around me. It is a great feeling.
