Agree with suggestions to skip Canouan. For fishing advice and gear (not rental) on Bequia go to Wallace and Co. - they were great in making recommendations for lures, etc. (note they have moved to the south end of the harbor near the walkway to Whalebone.) Depending on the desires of your crew, if you want to visit one of the most beautiful islands (the other being St. Bart) take the suggestion of doing a taxi tour of Mustique including dinner at Firefly - it is all more expensive than other places but worth it.

After Tobago Cays I always seem to find Salt Whistle jammed, almost like a BVI harbor! So, we always seem to end up at Saline Bay on Mayreu. We like it because it has a great beach, good snorkeling on the south end and is a closer walk to "town."

One of our favorite spots is Petit St Vincent, including snorkeling around Mopion. We also always spend a night in Clifton, Union Island. You can get onto a dock which is good for letting the crew leave the boat by walking, instead of always in the dink, get water, hit an ATM, etc.
