Fun with The Stacks

After setting sail from St George, Grenada we went up the coast to Moliniere underwater sculpture park in search of sculptures.imageimage

We then continued on to Carricou, Tyrrel Bay for some local food. Those open air restaurants are always a treat.

White island off Carriacou was cute. We went snorkeling for lobster but were unsuccessful, a lot harder than you think it should be. We all enjoyed wandering on the white sandy beach and relaxing in the sun. P1030931

Halloween was a treat at Petit St Vincent. Megan and Tyler hunted for treasure hidden in all sorts of spots around the boat.

At Clifton, Union Island we met Herman who took us around the local markets and showed Tyler how to play a steel pan. He owns a fruit & Vege store which Signa runs so of course we had to buy a few things, as you do, to support the locals. The golden apple cut up with salt & pepper and a little chopped onion was tasty.

Tobago Cays and Petit Tabac were amazing with nice clear waters and great snorkeling. Brett and Dave got the wind surfer out at Horseshoe reef while we snorkeled and relaxed on Jamesby, one of the nice white sandy beaches. Good form boys……brought back memories for them both. P1030988P1030984

Salt Whistle Bay on Mayreau was nice and calm and so picturesque with the palm trees and white sandy beach.

Jen and Richard from Our Rose came into the bay not long after we had dropped anchor. We all enjoyed a feast of lobster and steak followed up with Chocolate cake. Yum.P1040007P1040014

We sailed north to Bequia where we enjoyed a couple of meals out (Devils Table was delicious), wandered the main street with the vendor stores, provisioned and went to the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, which was really interesting meeting “Brother” King. He raises Hawksbill turtles hatchlings and releases them into the waters in the Grenadines. To date he has released 913 turtles. Always fun in Bequia.

We also had lots of help in the kitchen over the two weeks to cook some yummy meals!

The weather on the whole was pretty good so we could get out and do some snorkeling, sunbathing and surfing behind the dingey. Go Tyler. A few burnt bodies but lots of smiling faces.

We did come across a few nasty squalls which added to the excitement.

The sailing back to Tyrrel Bay and to Grenada were great. We had great winds and nice clear visibility, even spotted a few turtles. We came down the windward side of Grenada which was nice for a change.

Great times with good friends. They all left with smiles and eager for a nice long shower at their hotel in Miami. P1040050

  1. I am so happy you are still enjoying St Vincent and the Grenadines. I am always happy to read your posts.

  2. Thanks, Tre and Brett for an absolutely fantastic holiday adventure, exploring the gorgeous islands, warm waters, and friendly villages from Grenada up to Bequia and back! Can’t believe all of the things we did and saw, and loved meeting your fun friends in the Cruising community along the way – so many great memories. Thanks for making sailors out of us and letting us travel with you off the beaten path — er, current. 😉 Your Calgary-based crew remains on stand-by for whenever you need us…!
