Canouan

CANOUAN

Canouan is a small island in the heart of the Grenadines. The island is browner then the other islands we have been to. They are suffering from drought. Wile we were here it rained just a little at night, the locals are hoping for a lot more. As we walked through the small town we encountered chickens and goats walking down the streets. One bank one police station and a few small stores is all it has to offer.

There is a new development on the northern part of the island that is gated with guards at the entry. Locales and visitors need to ask permission to enter. It is said that Trump is running a casino and is offering luxury apartments, a resort and private air strip here. We were tempted but stayed away.

We met up with Off Line the boater friends that we really like here. Jake is painting a picture of the “ugliest island.” He is an artist and I saw the painting before it was finished, it was really quite good. Carol and I did some snorkeling and swimming. Then off we both went to Union Island.
