Bequia

Another stop while in Bequia during your Caribbean sailing trip, make sure to go into the Whaling Museum. Bequia has always been known for whaling. Whaling began in the 19th century and the island is known for their harpooning technique. Only 4 whales are allowed to be caught each year. Last year, the natives actually harpooned a whale, but lost it when trying to bring it in. Excitement was in the air!
