Grenadines trip

April 3, 2013 | Author

The Millers and Glovers arrived at Timoneer off Vieux Fort, the southern end of St Lucia. We then headed North to the  spectacular Pitons but the gusty conditions prevented us from having a safe anchorage and we motored to the north of Petit Piton and picked up a mooring for the night. In the morning we headed off for Bequia having a great sail with full main and genoa until we reached the lee of St Vincent where we took advantage of the flat conditions and had lunch while enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery. We also caught a King Mackerel. On reaching Bequia the guests went to see the Old Hegg Turtle sanctuary.

After a snorkel at Devil’s Table reef we sailed to Mustique via the Moon Holes community. This is a collection of houses built out of rock blending in with the surroundings. The guests spent time ashore in Mustique visiting friends.

The next afternoon we motor sailed to Petit St Vincent (PSV) and dropped anchor just before sunset. After a walk on the beach in the morning we went to Windward anchorage on Mayreau. After lunch the guests snorkeled the reefs between here and the rest of the Tobago Cays while Timoneer motored around and anchored off Petit Rameau. The guest then went and snorkeled with the turtles in the protected area off Baradel Island.

In the morning the guests went on a dive and snorkeling trip to Petit Tabac. After a late lunch we motored to Canouan but could not find a suitable anchorage and headed back to Petit Rameau.

The next morning the guests did a snorkel over the wreck of the Puruni off Saline bay, Mayreau and then we had a great sail back to Bequia. After lunch we motored around to Friendship bay before turning around and heading back to Admiralty Bay for the night.

In the morning we motored to Mustique for a swim party and lunch for 24 guests followed by a nice sail to Bequia and back. That evening the guests went out for dinner at the Cotton Club and shouted the crew out for a fantastic evening at Firefly restaurant.

Some went walking on Mustique in the morning and then went to the beach to catch up with the others. After lunch we headed to Bequia to clear out ready for an early departure for St Lucia the next morning. We left at 7am. On reaching the northern end of St Vincent we set the main sail and burst a hydraulic line on the furler in the process. This was not a problem until we needed to take the sail down. We had a great sail to St Lucia reaching speeds over 14 kts. We went on the dock at Marigot Bay marina. The guests went for a snorkel on a wreck at Anse Cochon but could not see much and came back for a swim in the pool at the marina. The next day they departed Timoneer for a scenic 1 hour drive to the airport.

Timoneer is now in Rodney Bay Marina preparing to depart tomorrow to cross the Atlantic on our way to Mallorca, Spain.
