Full Sails

Up and had coffee, breakfast and wrote about life. Then had a meeting at 9:30 to prepare for. My headphones are falling apart and my camera stopped working on my phone, so I was distracted the whole meeting with sounds of Brian getting ready to leave. I was scared he was going to hoist anchor while I was in my meeting but assuredly, it was just my paranoia.
After the meeting, and greeted with a hug, we made quick work of leaving Bequia (having hoisted the dinghy and engine the night before).
We headed over to the opposite side of Admiralty Bay so that I could see the moon caves/houses. Buildings etched into the side of the cliffs. We were under full sail and stayed that way all day, only dropping the sail once we reached Chatham Bay on Union Island. This is as far south as we will go. There was a boat Brian knew in the bay and we anchored next to them.
Fiona went on the SUP board and we hoped off the back of the boat for a swim. It was nice to chat - they have had a lot of company and she is getting tired of it. They are good friends, but at home she doesn’t live with them. Brian tipped her paddle board in an effort to push her back towards her boat, and I offered a few paddling tips (which I am not sure were welcomed). We then decided to put on snorkel gear and explore. The water seemed a bit murky but I saw a manta ray as we were swimmers back to the boat, sadly Brian was to far ahead of me…. I raced to catch him but finding it again was to challenging.
It is a beautiful spot here and a few local boats came by, Phillip at Sunset Cove and others to sell us fish. Since we had butterfish waiting for us we declined. The fish was taster than expected…. I boiled water garlic, onion and tomato and splashed the boiling water over the fish in the skillet. Learning to fillet them was again something new!
Although we don’t do alot when sailing, it always tires me out, so I had some extra chocolate mocha to keep me awake.Read more
