Bequia March 30, 2019

PRESAIL SATURDAY,  MARCH 30

After a little walk through the neighborhood Joseph picked us up drive us right back to the airport to catch our very expensive SVG flight to the French island of Bequia. We were told to be there at 11:00 for check in, and we arrived at 10:30. We got in the short line a stood waiting for them for an hour and a half. After this delay, our flight was also delayed. Instead of a 1:30 Bequia arrival, we got there at 3:30. No walk abouts to check out Bequia for us. 

 

  

Instead, we checked in with Tradewinds, had a beer and met our boat mates at the marina bar.

  The crew of New Beginning welcomed us aboard with cold towels to refresh, champagne and appetizers.
  We were shown to our cabins and settled in for the week. The aft cabin is very nice, but has less storage. We find that they all are good in their own way. 

Dinner was served by Rachael. The first course was a butternut squash and coconut soup followed by grilled Mahi mahi with grilled carrots, jasmine rice topped with plantain. Tiramisu was our dessert. Oh, so good.
