Day 11 - December 7, 2015

Eleven days ago twelve days seemed like a long time. Now, not so much. However, we seem to have lost track of days & dates; so, we all agree that twelve days is about right.


Leaving Bequia we were treated with another beautiful Caribbean sunrise.


Today was another clean linen and towel art day. This was the best ever towel art! Kudos to Marlan.


Heading to Mayreau, we passed the freighter on the rocks again.


Obviously that poor captain had an "ah s**t" moment!

We sailed to Mayreau under sail only which was a wonderful experience.




We arrived in Mayreau in good time.



Several of us hiked from the harbor to the beach side of the island encountering goats along the way.


The view from the top wasn't that magnificent.



But the view going down was.





This beach was beautiful and provided great photo ops, but being rock free was not a snorkeling beach.



Clair.


Barbara.


We moved to a snorkeling beach after lunch, and Barbara was in charge of the photography this time.




We packed snacks into the dinghy and headed off to Happy Island, the smallest island in the Caribbean. It was made from concrete and conch shells by Jante, a local entrepreneur. Electricity is wind power with batteries for storage. It is a great little bar with excellent rum punches.

Jante loves to sing along with the island music.


Everyone enjoying the moment!


Then it was back to Diamant for a sail to our anchorage at Sandy Island and another excellent dinner by Chef Barney followed by Chicken Foot dominos.
