TimeHonoured said: Hi All, Looking at my next charter itinerary I might have a hole where I could squeeze in one more anchorage. Was thinking maybe anchoring and eating dinner at Palm Island. How are they about non-guests? Any rules I should know of? many thanks Just my opinion but the hole in your sched. could resault in a hole in your boat. The holding at Palm is LOUSY.

Depends on where you charter from - if it's Barefoot, they don't allow overnights there. See this thread for info about it, Seth from Barefoot posted partway down... TTOL

TTOL As Dawn knows well the chart briefings at Barefoot score an A+. Whether given by Phillip, Seth or the gentleman (for the life of me I can’t remember his name) is second to none. These fine folks live it and breathe it. Their interests lay not only with the charterer but also with the boat owner. For a charter company not to red line Palm for overnight is irresponsible. Stepping off soap box now. Anyhow have fun Rick

How are they about non-guests? Any rules I should know of? many thanks Call them and see if they have a ferry to Union island. They should have something going because the airport is there. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

don't know if you already have Mayreau as one of your overnights, and also don't know if salt whistle bay is good for overnight, but salt whistle bay is absolutely gorgeous and you can call dennis' for a great dinner. http://www.dennis-hideaway.com/you can call him and he will arrange dinner for you in a nice setting and killer rum punches. You can either catch a cab at the little beach bar there in the cove or call him and he will pick you up.

Agreed, Saline is a much better and less steep walk up. Bonus time, a little more than half way brings you to Dennis’s for some liquid stimulation for the rest of the way. We always use Saline when the cruise ships aren’t in. Nice beach and good holding. Stay to the south so the Ferry doesn’t rock your boat as bad.
-edit-
Just looked at the rest of the OP's posts and noticed they have a Skipper from Barefoot. They will for sure take care of them. If not feel free to bitch at Seth. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

rhans said: Salt Whistle is defiantly a good overnight anchorage. Albeit can get a bit crowded. Watch for a Vendor with a pink hulled boat, which would be Walter. His wife makes the best breads delivered to your boat still warm. Her banana bread and whole wheat are to die for. It’s kind of a toss up which banana bread is better, hers or the one in Admiralty Bay. There was a story in the New York Times Travel section last year about the Grenedines (wish it didnt publicize paradise so much) with a great picture of Walter and like three paragraphs about him!

Seth said: Thanks rhans - !!! :-) I was hoping you’d catch that. One way or another we’ll get together soon and solve the problems of the day.
