After the Skipper's birthday celebrations in Union
we had a pleasant sail to Canouan on our way back to Bequia. The bay is
huge and we found plenty of space to anchor - probably a good thing as
the skipper mistook a turtle for one of the many mooring
buoys.
The view of the town on our
approach.
 Half of the island is privately owned by a large hotel
company and is heavily secured. We went ashore in the afternoon
and had a lovely walk around the quiet town. Below is the view to
Mayreau with Union just behind.
 Supplies were getting rather thin on the ground so we
bought some red snapper for our tea from a boat boy - 10 dollars a
piece. We were left slightly confused by his business tactics as he
would only sell us either three fish for 15 dollars or two for
20. Still, it made sense to him! Tomorrow we plan to sail back to
Bequia to check out of customs before the trip back to Rodney
Bay.
