En Route to Grenadines 6-26

Friday 6-26 After settling our accounts, checking out of the country and fueling up, we leave Rodney Bay around 2pm. We have a nice sail back down to the Pitons. Instead of stopping in Soufriere, we pull around the corner into Piton Bay which is nestled right between the peaks. All systems are working great. We are pleased and can relax.

Saturday 6-27 Anchors up at 0600 for the trip to Bequia (Beck-way) in the Grenadines. We bypass St Vincent due to recent reports of unsavory characters coming down from the hills to harass cruisers. As we pass by, though, we are sad to see that the Port Royal set, which is the whole reason we were going back there, is falling into disrepair. The wind is relatively steady and we make quick time to Admiralty Bay, Bequia around 2pm with plenty of daylight to get the boat situated and run into town to check in with customs.

A photo for Ross and Fran. It' the bee's knees!!! Where are you????

I see these two things and just have to laugh. I see this hospital and wonder how much they pay nurses. My immediate thought is not enough. Then I wonder if ever a process redesign/software design proposal has included a new roof. An idle mind....

Next, we come upon a barber shop. Clive's. Neither Craig nor I are impressed with my hair cutting skills, not to mention the fact that I accidentally dropped the #2 guard overboard in Puerto Rico. We stop. Then we see a picture on the wall, and there you have it, Craig' new "do". My man be stylin':

We are at anchor in Canuoan tonight, awaiting the 11AM arrival of sister Candy.
