Feb. 4, 2009 - Yeeha !!!!!

Headed South yesterday, past St Vincent to Bequia.  Started off flat calm with a pod of Dolphins and ended up Force 7 but gave us a fantastic reach into the Island.  You might wonder who took the photographs!!  Actually there is a local guy who comes out and meets the boats and his dexterity with a camera and  outboard engine is quite awesome to behold.  I've yet to get any shots of the boat under sail and was really pleased with these.  As you can see we caught yet another fishy - just after I decided it was getting too rough.  Mind you, at times the boat was almost a submarine - as can be seen in the last photo.  You might also notice some extra crew.  Apart from our mate Peter, a young couple, Nick and Holly, who are doing a round the world the difficult way tour (apparently involving tandems and banana boats amongst other things) begged a lift from us as well and we dropped then off today.  So we were fully crewed which made a nice change.  Small world though - Pete and I went to School with Nicks dad.  A tad blowy still so we are now going to wait for the promised moderation and set of for the Cays in a couple of days. We hear its been snowing in the UK - its not here - tee hee.
