Friendship Bay

Friendship Bay sits on the south side of Bequia. It offers better protection than Admiralty Bay in times of strong northerly swells. The beautiful white beaches offer a secure holding. Beware that at the opposite side of the harbor is a long reef. Sail down the center. Petit Nevis is a great day anchorage. You can snorkel along the shore and wonder through the old whale rendering facilities. One should not anchor over night here and beware of the long southerly reef. This makes for a short day trip before you set off in the Caribbean Sailing to your next destination.

Tobago Cays

When sailing the Windward Islands, make sure that you go down to the Tobago Cays. Whether you are on a day trip with a group of tourists, you have to stop and see the Cays. Some of the best snorkeling is in the Cays. The water and reef colors range from a gold, brown, blue, turquoise and green. Set your anchor west of Petit Rameau and make sure that you anchor both bow and stern. There are strong currents in the cut between Petit Rameau and Petit Bateau.

Since it is a National Park, you must rely on your own provisioning or the local islanders will also come by with fresh fish and breads. There is also beach BBQ's. But remember, there are not any restaurants! Many local boat vendors will also sell T-shirts, ice, and jewelry. To go diving, contact Grenadines Dive, as they will come by your vessel and pick you up. So when on a Caribbean Sailboat cruise or your chartered boat, a stop in the Tobago Cays is a must!

St Vincent

Start your Caribbean vacation the right way. When traveling to St Vincent, don't forget to leave all camouflage clothing, hats and luggage home. There is a strict rule as only local police and military are aloud to wear camouflage clothing. If you do take it into St Vincent, it will be confiscated.

Bequia

Bequia is a must see while planning your caribbean sailing vacations. It nestles in Admiralty Bay with all of its charm and glory. The people are so friendly and the food is incredible. We always have to eat at Gingerbread and always save some room for their home made ice cream. Mac's Pizzeria is also a MUST! Pizza in the Caribbean...absolutely the finest! As you stroll along the water walking off dinner and dessert, pick up a few souvenirs. Stock up on water, fuel and provisions, before sailing.

St Lucia Dining

While in Marigot Bay, whether you dock your St Lucia chartered boat, or take a taxi, please make sure that you take the time and dine at J.J.'s Paradise for superb seafood. The fish and seafood are caught daily and served with locally grown fruits and vegetables. They have a Wednesday Night Callaloo crab feast and while you dine you listen to the local bands playing in the back ground.
