We left Carriacou yesterday morning and had a delightful sail up to Union Island. (Union Is is in the country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines i.e. "SVG" ) We are in Chatham Bay on the west side of the island. What a great, quiet place with a terrific beach (tog with several beach bars). We planned on stopping here only overnight, but enjoyed it so much, we decided to stay another day (today, Saturday). The water is the clearest since the Bahamas...we can see the bottom clearly at 18-20 feet.
As soon as we anchored, some local boat boys came by with fresh King fish and lobsters. "A pound of King fish, and two 2 lb lobsters, please". "Yeah, mon...no problem"..... Had a fresh lobster dinner on the grill last nite and saved the fish for tonight. This place is incredibly quiet...no phone service, no internet....no nothing....just a million stars. Interestingly, we are on ONLY US flagged boat here. (there are about 15-20 boats here...several of which we know). Similarly, I saw only one other US flagged boat at Tyrrel Bay of about 50+ boats.....where are all the US cruisers ??
Plan on beaching, and snorkeling today and will move up to Bequia tomorrow am. Will keep you updated on our voyage. THE CREW
P.S. We are back to using amateur radio (HAM) as our only mode to communication. Kind of a culture shock after being in Grenada with semi-reliable internet, and phone service....But, I am sure we will survive !! LOL.
