Boat Building

Boat building used to be the way of life in Bequia and there is still evidence that many of the local men still have the knack and still work on their boats along the waters. There are also craftsmen displaying their hand carved boats that are sold in the shops in the center of town and on the weekend, especially Saturday near the market, many men have their crafts on sale. They are a work of art and so beautiful one has to purchase a boat and take it home with them. I have one of these boats and I love to look at it every day as it reminds me of our Windward Islands vacation in Bequia.
