Ok, I really need to catch up here. The problem is the lack of consistent internet in the Grenadines.
Bequia is one of our favorite islands. The islanders are very friendly,we weren’t bothered by boat boys, the island has great beaches and cheap rotis. We spent about a week there, mostly kept in by squalls, but found time for mexican train dominoes with Fine Line, Toucan and Dream Maker, and of course, plenty of cheap rotis.
Canouan the next island is alright. Mostly it’s a base for Mooring charters. We walked into town and watch a cricket match for awhile then ate a very overpriced meal at the Pirates Pub with Fine Line and Dreammaker. More Mexican trian dominoes as we were again hit with bad weather.
Mayreau is an interesting little island. Friendly people, great dinner at Dennis Hideaway. The cruise ships have taken over the beach though. It is an interesting STEEP walk into town from the beach but well worth it to see the small church and the view from the top.
Tobago Cays. BEAUTIFUL!! Clear water, white beaches, lots of sealife. You could stay here forever.
Dolphins on the way to St Vincent 
The boat boys met us way at the entrance of the bay. Fine Line was in before us, and Toucan was already there and told us what to expect. Actually, these boat boys were alright. You had to use them to attach to a mooring ball as they hid the pennant in such a way that only they could get it. After we had moored, the other boat boys made their rounds, 4 different ones came to the boat, but they were respectful.
Wallilabou still has some set here from the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3.
The next morning we did an early hike to the waterfall, of course accompanied (stalked one might say) by the locals boys looking to get a tip. The waterfall was small but nice, and we took a quick swim. St Vincent, like St Lucia is extremely poor, the main income being tourist and agriculture. Since this was a volcanic island, growing crops is fairly easy, but the produce was not as cheap as Dominica, in fact they still get produce from there.
As we walked back to the boat, a man stopped us trying to get us to buy some eggs. He became very upset when we said we didn’t need any. He then demanded that we give him something, meaning money. Again we said no and he walked off muttering angrily. “Give me something” seems to be the mantra of St Lucia and St Vincent, and it’s really a shame. I know it hurts tourism, and these two countries are too poor to have the tourist industry sufer.
