Before leaving Carriacou, we went to see the ongoing build of a traditional wooden tuna fishing boat. Very impressive, considering it is all hand done.
We had decided to enter Saint Vincent in Union's Chatham Bay rather than the busy harbor of Clifton, and to enjoy the calm and the small beach shacks' lobster dinners.

Of course, this means a cross island trek to go and clear in customs in Clifton.
The views are well worth it, however, and we got to talk with the mail lady and with Araline, a one-time and still occasional yacht cook selling break goodies to schoolchildren in Ashton.
Susan also found the perfect source for (island) fashion.

After only a few days we had a favorable wind window, and decided to move to Saint Vincent, bypassing Bequia. A brisk 6 hours took us to Young Island Cut on the south coast, finishing on a reach at 9-10 knots. We moored at Charlie Tango's and betook us to the French Verandah for some fine french dining and red wine to wash down the salt.

Meanwhile Susan is perfecting the stovetop focaccia recipe - the last one is a rosemary, thyme and sea salt combo.
