Ahoy Sailor! One week till we step foot on our sailboat...


Well, one week from today we will be on our own sailboat (our own for a week that is) in the warm waters of Bequia. Bequia is called The Big Little Island. It is seven square miles in size, and home to about 5000 people. It absolutely is the most friendly place I have ever been! Everyone smiles, and wishes you a "Good mornin'". If you are driving, you are waved at by the friendly locals. Amazing place to be sure!

I know this year will be different than we are used to - the economy hits paradise too. I just heard that one of our favorite restaurants in Grenada has closed down. It has been there for years - a tradition, and is a favorite of locals and tourists alike. Many restaurants are only opening for certain hours, or closing early for the low season. Sad...

But, paradise will still be paradise; the lovely beaches will be open; and we will adapt with the times.
