Bequia


Position 13.00.560 N   61.14.350 W  Bequia.

Arrived Admirality Bay Bequia yesterday, after a two hours sail from the Blue Lagoon St. Vincent.
St. Vincent is the capital island for almost all the Grenedines.

The Blue Lagoon Marina.  This is the marina for SunSail Charter.
So, we only had to check in with Custom and Imigration at Kingstown St. Vincent.
Which is very nice. The procedure is that me as the captain have to make clearence in each individual
island (country) which takes time and money. Now we are sett for next island going south.
Tomorrow we will sail to Mustique. That is a private owned island, and many rich and famose people
have houses there. For instent: Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Tommy Hilfinger and Rachel Welch.
After that we will sail to Union Island, and Tobago Cays ( which is known to be one of the most beautiful places on earth to dive and snorkel. Tobago Cays is today a national park, and very strick protected with rules were to anchor and dive. Am really looking forward to that.
I have my own scuba equipment, but you have to go on a organized dive tour to dive with tanks.
So, I will probably do that.  But you can snorkel by you own on certen places. Also at a place were all the turtles are.
After Tobago Cays we will sail to some not decided islands yet, but have to be at Grenada latest January 10 in the morning. That's were Jonas is flying out from to Barbados to catch his flight back to Gothenburg.
Charles, Franzi and Hans (which joined in at St. Vincent the 3. jan.)fly fly out from Tobago/Trinidad the 15th. Then I will spend 2-3 days there before Ivan, Claus, Polly and Kari is comming in from Barbados.
They will spend 2-3 weeks going north from there.
I will of course update the blog on the way south and comming back north, but now you have an idea how the sailtrip goes.
After February 7th. I have now confirmed reservations yet, so if you want to get away from the cold, or home, contact me on:  bent.nordmann@gmail.com  or through the blog here.

This is the view from were I am sitting right now updating the blog.
My boat is anchored in the back ground.
