Cruising with friends to the Grenedines January 2012

Barbara, Maurizio, Chira and Claus.

January 11th. we headed out of Marigot Bay to Bequia.
We made a lunch stop at the Pitons before crossing the ocean between St. Lucia and St. Vincent.
Claus and his daughter Chira from Denmark.
By the Piton's St. Lucia.
After two night on anchor at Bequia we sailed down to Tobago Cays.
At one of the spots they have alot of turtles, which is popular for the snorkelers.
Claus had no experience with snorkeling, but wanted to try.
There is a bit of surf on the beach, so it's not so easy to get your fins on.
Clause was fighting for it, and made a good show for us watching.

So far, so good
Whoops, here comes a wave..
Ok, both fins on.
Then, now it's the matter to get into the water
Shit, another wave..
Ok, I am ready..
Hi turtles, here I come
Chira watching her father.

At night we normally go to the beach for BBQ lobster,
but this night it was raining, so we got the lobster transported to Zephyr
Happy crew in the cabin
Lobster for dinner.

1/2 a lobster each.

Then we sailed down to Union next day. Of course we also had a couple rum punch
at Happy Island.

We sailed north again after two night by anchor up the islands.

Chira enjoying the sailing.

After one week around the Grenedines, we went back to Marigot Bay and
Chateau Mygo.

Maurizio and Barbara came with me one more week.
Claus and Chira had to go back to Denmark to work.  Poor them...

The tour with Barbara and Maurizio will come soon.
Got to go now, because we are invited to Doreen's house on the top of the hill, for a swim in her pool.
