Cruising the Grenadines
Timoneer has just completed 2 and a half weeks of cruising with Boo and her guests from Bequia to Grenada and Richard and guests from Grenada to St Lucia. The weather was very kind to us allowing us to see a turtle hatchery and model boat builders in Bequia. Exploring and dining ashore at the exclusive, private island of Mustique. Snorkeling with turtles in the beautiful Tobago Cays. Hiking the hills of Union Island and swimming ashore to its neighboring private island, Palm Is. Grenada has so much to offer from old forts, spice plantations, hikes through the jungle to waterfalls and one of the favorites, the cocoa plantations and their chocolate samples. The beach restaurants are hard to beat as well.
Fishing was a bit sparse but we managed to catch and release a Barracuda and keep a big Wahoo on the trip down island. On the way back up we caught a tuna, which Penny created some great sushi and sashimi from, and lost another bringing it in. Last but not least, we had plenty of great sailing between the islands taking us from one stunning beach to the next.
