March 2019 - Eastern Caribbean - Windward Islands

March 31, 2019

 

 

March 1 -2, 2019

 

We had another fun sail 15nm to Bequia from St. Vincent. We went to lunch at Max's Pizzeria and had a tasty tuna and king fish lunch! We had a great walk over to Firefly Plantation. Ezra gave us a nice tour of the plantation. He taught us the names of various plant, shrubs and trees while we sampled the fruit they produced. Chinese wax apples, guava, coconut milk and meat, sugar cane, sea salt, lemon grass, bay leaf and more...  After the plantation tour we walked to the Sugar Reef Restaurant on the beach. Half had an amazing mahi on focaccia bread/grilled tomato and carmelized onions. Half had a fish roti with chutney and mango/black bean salsa. We shared wonderful food and great presentation. Of course we couldn't pass up the Lime chiffon pie. Good thing we put in 14,000 steps today.

We had another pleasant sail from Bequia to the Tobago Cays. This is such a pretty spot and has fantastic snorkeing on the reefs surrounding the little islands. Unfortunately Spring Tides and strong winds caused higher water and stronger currents on the reefs. So we settled for snorkeing around and off the turtle island. We decided to move on to Mayreau and snorkel in Saline Bay. The snorkeing here was lovely. Lots of fish and little current. We walked across the island to see the new restaurant. Connie and I hiked up to the church while the boys opted to rest on the beach.  We bought a nice big mahi-mahi from a fisherman and had a couple of yummy meals out of it. We sailed back to Bequia for Al's birthday. We enjoyed his birthday dinner at Jacks Restaurant.

We cleared customs in Bequia and had a short sail to Chateaubelair.  We had lots of help from boat boys to set anchor in the sand out of the rocks. Great snorkeling on huge boulders right off the boat. It was a rough sail from St. Vincent to St. Lucia. It's always a bit wilder heading north with winds and currents.  We hired a taxi and guide and had a beautiful day tour on St. Lucia. We visited the volcano, mud baths, hot springs, waterfalls and a botanical garden. We finished up with another great lunch at Belle Vue and ice cream at the shop by immigration. We bought a 7# Mahi-mahi from a fisherman then sailed up to Marigot Bay for the night. The anchorage was crowded so we went into the lagoon and picked up a mooring. Beautiful sunset...

We had a tough 6 hour slog sail to St. Anne anchorage on Martinique. We toured St. Anne with Steve and Connie. We took them to the excelled fruit and vegetable market, bought our favorite baguette sandwiches from the bakery and bought another mahi at the fish market to grill.
