Santa didn't turn up but it was possibly not putting mince pies out that did
it. Some pressies though from family. Thank you very much.
Had a swim off the back of the boat as one does on Christmas Day morning.
It's very warm here. Tom was sent towards the beach to untie us from a
piling and we set off for the Grenadines. The first island rounded was
Bequia but we ended up anchored off a small uninhabited island to the south
of Bequia called Petit Nevis. Near the landing jetty we found an old whaling
station with cauldrons for boiling blubber which are apparently still used
by the locals when the IWC lets them.
Swam some more this afternoon but I think we may have missed the Queen on
the telly.
