Back in Bequia.....

For the past month the cruisers have been calling Grenada "Hotel California"....as Don Henley sings...'you can check out, but you can never leave'.  Well, we finally broke out and are on the way north for the winter. (North for the winter....sounds strange !!)

On Sunday, Persephone had one of the best sails in a long time; voyaging from Chatham Bay, Union Island to the island Bequia in the country of SVG.  Arriving in Bequia was like coming home after spending nearly a month here in July.   It is nice to know where all of the services are located upon arrival.  This is Admiralty Bay where Persephone is anchored.... 
Boats sailing in and out of Admiralty Harbor

The inner harbor, unfortunately it was misting when we were overlooking the harbor.
 Persephone is just off camera to the right.

Turtles are everywhere in Admiralty Bay.  It seems every time you look out from the boat, you see a turtle bobbing to the surface for air looking back......


The turtles come in all sizes...from the size of a baseball, to nearly TWO feet across.  The turtle pictured above is about a foot long.
