After checking out of the Grenadines we left for Union Island. This was a real treat! The island is fantastic - quite remote, a little bit touristy but very beautiful.

The anchorage is tucked behind a reef with a bar located on an island made out of conch shells.

Today Anne and Carrie have been diving at The Tobago Cays while Mikaela and I were allowed to fit a new water pump and write the blog!!!
