hey dawn, welcome back to the grenadines! Ask Black Boy if they got the post cards i sent down with another cruiser...was supposed to get them in May. Tell Alvin im working on getting him a laptop.
Make sure to stop in Chatham Bay to Sun Beach Eat, say hi to Secki and Vanessa for me, (is the ring toss i installed still there?) and enjoy the pool beachside at Aqua.
in light winds, petit tabac in the tobago cays is a cool stop, but check the depths, i think ur ds43 will make it...
ill be there july 15-23 so will miss u guys! hi to jim!
Peace, Capt Mark

Thanks for the pictures.
It's great to see a picture of Keishawn - he's the best!
He drove us all over the island for a day, and was a great tour guide.

Having a great time - the boat handles very well, the sailing has been east winds the whole way, 20-22kn, we're in Chatam Bay Union Island today, one night in Bequia, Petit Nevis, two nights in the Tobago Cays, on our way to Carricou, Petit Martinique, Mayreau, and then ???

Having a great time so far!

If you get a chance, and like turtles, don't forget to visit the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary on Bequia!

Allison, it's all good... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

We are having an awesome time, and I have been writing a trip report daily - just not able to post all my thoughts coherently yet! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

On the return side of things.... sigh... but still having a great time!

So we are off the boat and recuperating in AC at Barefoot's hotel...

Spent a fun evening in the Tobago Cays with Utopia and their guests, what a lovely group! I think Jim really enjoyed having some "guy time" with Tony. He's actually talking of chartering with them sometime, just to see if he really likes sailing cats! (ruh roh!)

Spent two nights in Bequia, and on a wonderful close hauled sail to barefoot, the steering locked up about 1.5 miles from shore! What an exciting way to end the charter! LMAO

Trip report to come once I get home and figure out how to condense two weeks of experiences into a coherent report...

Thanks to all for the info and advice while planning this trip, this was the best time BY FAR!

Oh, and not to brag, but 14 days on the boat, and only 12.5 gallons of diesel! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> That's Sailing!
