Saturday 29th Dec
We nearly rolled the dinghy in the surf but eventually stormed the beach in
Friendship Bay and had lunch in a hotel beach bar. In the afternoon we
circumnavigated Bequia back to Port Elizabeth for clearing out formalities
to be able to leave at first light to get back to St Lucia for New Year.
Port Elizabeth harbour in the evening was very raucous with parties on every
other boat. We went ashore and had dinner in 'Frangipani's' restaurant
surrounded by smoking Italians and small dogs. Food was good though. Later
Ian fell asleep on deck and was soaked in a rainstorm. It was probably just
Natures little way of saying drink more water and less rum punch!
We plan to be back at Soufriere/Pitons tomorrow and then moor in Marigot
Bay, St Lucia for New Years Eve.
