We are on Union Island, part of the Grenadines. We will be here about a week before heading farther south. We were in Canuan when an older fisherman swam up to the boat and wanted to sell his catch. The reason was because he didn't have a boat. Every morning he swam out , fished and swam in to sell his catch. We bought 5 lobsters and a crab one day and 5 lobsters and a fish the next. We paid 40 EC each time (about $16 US) and gave him a ride in to shore. We also gave him cookies for his kids. After that we sailed over to Mayreau and went out to town for a cold drink, town was a mile away UP hill. Later we made the trip again to go to Dennis's Place for a drink and an appetizer of whale. Whale is still hunted in Bequia and we were lucky to be offered this local rarity. It looked like well done beef roast but tasted like fish. Very odd indeed. From Mayreau we sailed to the Tobago Cays and swam with the sea turtles and snorkeled the reef.
As our camera is still not working we uploaded some pictures that we took this year around the BVI's for your pleasure.
