Goodbye St Lucia
Crossing the Saint Vincent Channel we were treated to a huge pod of dolphins playing on Meshugga’s bow wake for about a half hour.
We have decided to NOT go to St Vincent.
The reports from cruisers continue to be uncomfortable, with numerous reports of locals swimming out to anchored yachts, hanging onto yachts, and that one cannot leave a yacht unattended at any time day or night due to theft.
We sailed close to the coast and the island is large and mostly uninhabited with large mountainous areas, with villages in the little bays. Only the southern coast around the capital Kingstown is densely populated.
We saw only 4 yachts anywhere along the coast in bays.

We continued south across the Bequia Channel, with a steady breeze. Later, after this photo, the wind upp’ed to 26knots and we had quite a romping sail until we got into the lee of Bequia.
Ahoy Bequia. The Grenadines are made up of many small islands, of which Bequia is the largest.
Take Care
