Kayak
Kayaking along the cliffs of Chatham Bay- we almost forgot how much fun this is!We continued on our little jaunt around the Southern Grenadines and sailed back up to Chatham Bay, a quiet anchorage on the west end of Union Island. It was a glorious trip- a stiff Caribbean breeze filled our sails and pushed the Rum Runner swiftly along the lush coast of Union. The west coast of Union is totally undeveloped, except for a couple of beach bars that the locals open on the weekend. And the anchorage is beautiful, surrounded by tall cliffs filled with cactus and dense scrub.
The first thing we wanted to do was launch the kayaks and explore the bay. We haven’t used the kayaks in ages and almost forgot how much fun it is. We paddled along the crystal clear water beside the cliffs, amazed at all the fish we could see below as we went along. And we were amused by all the pelicans and corn birds that were perched in the cactus above, who would occasionally whoosh down in a sharp dive for fish, landing in the water just a few feet away with a canon ball splash. We then kayaked over to the beach to grab a quick rum punch at one of

It was a quiet anchorage until this boat pulled in- we see this windjammer cruise ship all over the Grenadines. the local beach bars. It was a fun stop on our kayak adventure before heading back to the boat.

Nice Blog!
Hi, just stumbled across your blog while googling something else. My wife and I are in Portland and in the market for a liveaboard with the goal of going cruising in four years. Great to see somebody out doing it! We've looked at a couple of boats at The Sailing Life and just went to Portland Boat Show. The search continues; mean time thanks for letting us virtually cruise with you. loveandcoconuts.blogspot.com
