We motored on up to Union Island, the southernmost Grenadine Island where you can check into customs and immigration. We picked up a mooring ball at Clifton Harbor and dinghied over to check in. The officers were very helpful and if you took away all my bs, it only took 10 minutes. In actually I was there for a couple of hours and have several new friends. We went in for dinner at the Barracuda (which wasn't on the menu) and had lamb stew & shrimp kebabs sitting at a table that was not rocking back & forth. It was very good but Sally could not believe I would eat one of the little lamb lawn mowers that were so cute.

Late afternoon the kite surfers came out to give us an eventing show. They raced towards each other like a blue angels show and would leave the water summersaulting 30 feet or more above the water.

We bought lots of fresh fruit & vegetables from the open air market and one of my new "friends" brought us a 6 lb fresh tuna and cleaned it on his boat before passing it over. He used my filet knife that Sally's grandson recommended and liked it so well he borrowed it that afternoon to filet a #3 washtub full of red snapper, of which I didn't get a sample! That was sign, so the next morning we pulled out and went to Tobago Keys to dive with the sea turtles in a sea turtle sanctuary. No one told the turtles so we snorkeled for a couple of hours and saw not the first turtle. So we left and headed to Bequia.
