Sailing up to Bequia from Marieu was not a laid
back affair. We had to beat against the waves and wind for 6 hours before
getting into harbour and anchor up next to Kaminante (A swedish yacht with a
very nice family we have got to know from La Coruna).
That night the kids got together on board Kaminante
and they got pankakes while we could be just adults sitting in the cockpit
eating a great salad on our boat.
Next day we took a long hike up one of the
mountains and ended up meeting Kenneth, a very nice guy that lived up the hill
with a fabulous view. He invited us to his house so we could enjoy it. He was a
great character, according to him his ancestors where vikings that ended up in
England and France and then came to the Grenadines with the slave trade. He had
been at sea on commercial ships until retired and lived now on Bequia raising
Kings Pigeons for one thing. King Pigeons are something you eat (he
put some in a stew every thursday).
The wind keeps blowing hard from 20-30 knots and
today we have to beat our way up to St Vincent- Blue Lagoon.
Lisa and Gustaf are getting off and will fly
tonight to Bahamas and then on back to work in Sweden.
As a "thankyoudinner" they took us all out last
night to Macs Pizza, a great pizzeria that makes 15 inch pizzas and one of their
speciality is Lobster Pizza. Well I'm always concerned when it comes to putting
extravaganza on a pizza, but it was a huge success. Somehow they managed to make
it on the pizza with the best taste and tenderness possible. Afterwards we took
a drink and desert at FrangiPangi, Andreas managed to wash himself with
chockolade and icecream from top til toe.
Now it is early morning, the sun is coming up above
the mountains, I'm sitting in the cockpit, Andreas is drawing (he is getting
very good at it), Ellinor is peeling potatoes (preparing lunch since the hard
sailing is not going to make anybody a big chef out there). Lisa, Gustaf and
Erika are sleeping. When I'm done writing Ellinor and I will probably jump in
the clear bluegreen water and take a morning swim (we always do
that).
Then it's breakfast and making Ship
Shape.
Oh yes, several have asked for more pictures on the
blog, sorry we cannot get a descent wifi from anchor, but the day after tomorrow
I will connect to a wifi and upload tons of pictures (I hope).
Have a great day and remember, even living your
dream is not easy, but it is worth it.
