After a great time at fish
friday in Goyave in Grenada, we headed north on the 2nd April to Carriacou.
There on the 3rd, we celebrated Mike's birthday with a British style lunch at
the Round House, bogles followed by a taxi tour of the island.
After heading to Clifton on
Union Island to clear customs, we went round to Chatham Bay with the idea of a
beach barbeque with one of the boat boys. we were astonished to find a new small
resort called Aqua in the southern part of the bay. Rui dragged anchor and
without a windlass, decided to pick up one of the resort's moorings so we ate at
their restaurant. The style was Caribbean/Italian and I have to say it was a
great meal at a reasonable price. I think we will stop there again on our way
south later in the month.
The next morning we headed to
Mayreau for the wedding of Jim & Annie from Ocean Jasper. Neither is Roman
Catholic, but the Island priest married them in the Catholic church at the top
of the hill. The priest was a great character and had some very meaningful words
in the wonderful service. The wedding was as idyllic as it could be - a
wonderful start to their life together. Music was provided by Oisin from Brown
Eyed Girl, later helped by Bev from Jeannius. Outside the church, we enjoyed the
unrivalled views of the Tobago Cays before descending to Dennis Hideaway for a
great Caribbean reception.

Next on the list was Bequia to
celebrate Bob's birthday at the Frangipani barbeque. We were joined by Sandro,
Lisa, Rui, Anna & Luca for a great evening of food & steel pan music.
The next day, Mike & I went diving joining Randi & Durita from the
Faroese yacht Gaia. we were fortunate to see 2 seahorses on our 3rd dive ably
spotted by Laury of Dive adventures.
Several more yachts joined us
in Bequia but after a few days we were off again to stop at the Piton anchorage
in St Lucia before making our way to Marigot Bat to begin the final celebrations
