We have changed countries since our
last write. We enjoyed a relaxing
day on Carriacou; exploring a little of the beach front, swimming in Tyrrel Bay, eating a
first class burger at the Slipway Restaurant while visiting Gary and Donna
(Cruisers on Page One), Glen and Pam’s cruising friends since 1978.

The next morning we checked out of the
country at Customs & Immigration, heaved anchor and set out to Saint
Vincent and the Grenadines. While
the weather winds were not exactly in our favour we rounded the headland to
Hillsborough and then crossed the sea to Clifton on Harbour Island, SVG. While Captain Glen checked us in at
Customs & Immigration, we wandered the short streets before settling in for
a beer and a little free Internet catch up.

Back on board, we made the short run
to Saline Bay on Mayreau Island. Again,
the run was a little rough but with the staysail up, the Blue Pearl knifed
through the waves and we averaged over 7 overall knots. We arrived and anchored, with time for a good swim in the
Bay before neighbours Gord and Tina from the UK and Germany, joined us for happy
hour on the Blue Pearl.
They had sailed up from Uruguay and hoped to get to Martinique before
the start of the hurricane season.
