Greetings from Rainy Bequia, Yesterday sailed to Mustique for the day. We had 15 guests aboard the Friendship Rose. The day started out cloudy and never really got too much better. We had some glimpses of sunshine in the afternoon. But Bequia got rain the whole time we were away. So I guess we were the lucky ones. It was Malialani's first visit to Mustique so I got to show her around. All of our guests, save one, wanted to do the taxi tour of the island, so the two of us were joined by Russell, a charming Brit, on a "vigorous" hike across the island to Macaroni Beach. I had described it as "up the hill, down the hill, up the hill, down the hill, up the hill, down the hill and turn left, but ... read more

Greetings from Bequia, Lets see, the last time we blogged was Monday morning, so what's happened since then? Well, Monday afternoon one of the villas the Team represents was with out water, so we headed up there to investigate. The two couples staying there were all on our Tobago Cays trip the day before and they were pleased to see a familiar face. After about 20 minutes I finally located the pump and realized it had come unplugged. Plugged it back in and was an instant hero. Later that afternoon, we showed one of the same couples the neighboring villa that is for sale. There are actually two villas that share the same property. We went away thinking they were more curious than interested, but we still had a good time showing them and seeing the ... read more

Greetings from Bequia, This morning we got up and around for a hike over to Spring Bay and Industry Bay. Before we could get out the door, Alan our host, asked us to take some photos while we were in that area. It was a very hot morning and I was glad that Malialani had suggested packing a snack. A PB&J really tastes good when you're out on a hot mid-day hike. We got a call while we were out to set up an appointment to photo a boat for a new speedboat service, so it was back into town later in the afternoon. After those shots we took the Rover (Bella) and Angel, one of the charming girls from the Harbour office, and went up to a villa called Cotton Tree to check on some ... read more

Greetings from Bequia. We made it through San Juan and St Vincent and onto Bequia with only a few hitches. San Juan was great. We had dinner at Cafe Puerto Rico right accross from Christopher Columbus square. Our waiter was very nice and come out to the square to take some pictures for us. Always tip your servers well and they will do anything for you. When we arrived at St Vincent, the Cobblestone (where we planned on staying) was completely booked, so Percy, our cab driver took us to a place he knew, The Hairoun. There the owner, Wade, took really good care of us. He walked us down the street a couple of blocks to a great little wine bar for dinner. We never would have found it without his local knowledge. It was ... read more

Monday and Tuesday were spent on the boat at sea. Monday we took a group of 11 to Mustique. It was the perfect sized group for me to remember everyone's names and give them all some personal attention. Philip from Italy, Hal from New York, Dag, Ann, Harold, Frank, Elin, Kim, and Helen all from Denmark, and Mark and Penny for the UK. It was a little bit rough sailing from Bequia to Mustique, but when we arrived it was a beautiful day. The seven Danes took a tour of the island, Philip and Hal took off walking to Macaroni Beach, and Mark and Penny started out on foot as well. I went to pay the Mustique Company for our permit to visit and caught up to Mark and Penny. They wanted to go to Macaroni ... read more
