Bequia. St Vincent

Friday, Oct. 12th

We're sitting in Charleston Bay, at Canouan Island.
It's been raining all day as we're sitting under a tropical low. The bad weather is just north of us so we're getting southern bands of rain. Should clear out soon.

Canouan is a small island, about 5 square miles with 400 – 500 local inhabitants. There is a nice resort right here on the bay. About 2/3 of the island is owned by an Italian development company offering lots and upscale homes complete with a golf course and casino.

The snorkeling here is very good.

We got here 3 days ago from Bequia which is a great little island 8 mile off the southern end of St Vincent. We had been there about a year and a half ago and just love Bequia. We were there about a week.

It's got a great, protected harbor that will hold a couple of hundred boats easily. Beautiful beaches and wonderful snorkeling and diving. We snorkeled every day and did a dive while there.

They have a concrete walkway at the waters edge leading to wonderful little restaurants and small inns.
