Day 5 - December 1, 2015

It was a special day, Clair's 50th birthday. Captain Phillip and crew made it a most memorable event. The day started with Bloody Mary's for Rob & Clair and a special breakfast.



As usual, the day's events were posted on the board.


Our first anchorage was off Young Island. A short dinghy ride had us at the base of the site of historic Fort Duvernette. The climb to the top was facilitated by stairs, but it was still quite a climb.

Arriving at Young Island.


Luba at the base.


The view from about half way up.


Cannons most of the way up.


And more at the top.


The view from the top. Diamant at anchor.


Snorkeling off Young Island was next. It was the best to date.


Lunch featured Mahi-Mahi fresh caught earlier in the day. Barney continues to outdo himself in the kitchen.


The afternoon was used to tour the Botanical Gardens and Fort Charlotte on St. Vincent.




The St. Vincent Parrot, the national bird.


Fort Charlotte and views from it.






Then, it was back to Diamant for a birthday dinner complete with decorations.




After dinner we enjoyed the King Comedy Hour with jokes and riddles.



And thus another day in Paradise concluded.
