Mustique - 21 February

We had a couple of nights where sleep was difficult
to come by (for the adults, not the children, who slept like logs) on
Mustique. Squalls of wind whistled down from the hills around the bay
and the mooring line snatched at the boat, making the line grind in the
fairleads, while the mooring buoy banged against the side of the
boat. However, it was worth it to revisit one of our favourite places in
the Caribbean (so far). We went for a long walk with the Tim, Penny,
Anna and Eddie, from Tamarisk, almost around the entire island. The
Atlantic shore is quite wild and one beach had such undertow that swimming was
banned.

Strong Undertow Treacherous Currents
Although the children are in their swimming things,
they did not actually go in the sea (reassurance for the
grandparents).
Back on the other side of the island in Britannia
Bay, we stopped for a sundowner in Basil's Bar and all was
tranquil.

As I write we are in Rodney Bay,
