Bequia

We grabbed the first mooring ball as soon as we entered admiralty bay after just slowing down to a crawl because of whiteout conditions caused by a 30 kt squall that lasted about 30 minutes.  The ball is owned by Daffodil, a very gracious and friendly lady that provides boat side water, ice, laundry and fuel.  We could not pick up wifi so she found us another mooring ball close to shore.  It is a very comfortable anchorage and the beachfront roads are set up as boulevards with one way vehicles on one side and walking on the other.  Their tourist season still has not started so very little is open.  We did find a Mac's Pizza, for some really superb pizza, fresh baked bread and great conversation with the owners.  There were several fresh produce vendors on the way back to the dinghy so we stocked up on good food.  

We took a taxi/nissan pickup tour over to the sea turtle sanctuary so Sally could pet the turtles.  They hatch the eggs and raise them in huge tanks till adult and then release them after about a year, only to be gobbled up by sharks and big fish since there are no predators in the tanks to teach them big is bad.
