Bequia

Bequia is a favorite of sailors and boaters, isolated en

ough to remain unspoiled, yet lively enough to be entertaining. Bequia is the 1st Island in the chain called the Grenadines. Old traditions remain, boats are still being built on the beach under the shade of the palm trees. We anchored in Admiralty Bay a well-protected Bay in Port Elizabeth. Small hotels, bars, restaurants and shops spread along the shore. The gingerbread restaurant & bar offers free internet service out in the courtyard overlooking the Bay. We sat under the trees with a cool breeze blowing, watching the locals and drinking coffee. We went to the fruit & vegetables stand to buy some fresh local produce. High pressured salesmen they are. They want you to buy some of everything, at a high price at that. We found a few things and were on our way. Next stop, Canouan in the chain of the Grenadines still in the windward Islands.
