We're beginning to debrief. It's nice to (kind of) be on land again. We spent last night on the boat and will stay here until this afternoon, when we'll fly to Barbados. Then, it's back to Chicago tomorrow. Becky and the kids will pick us up at O'Hare - we can't wait to see them!
We enjoyed this trip - we spent time with local folks as much as we could, and ate at local spots (okay, the food wasn't what we're used to, in terms of quality, but we hadn't cooked it, so it was great). It isn't what most cruisers down here do, so we raised a lot of eyebrows, but we feel as though we understand more about these islands.
Here's a picture of yesterday's fishermen: (I'd like to see any of us handle these nets without winches or windlass!)
We had some company while we were in Saline Bay on Mayreau island:
The Tobago Cays. I tried to get a picture that would show all the colors of the water. The very dark line is the outermost coral reef. The guys snorkeled out there until the 5' shark kind of chased them back into the dinghy. Then there are some shallows and another, inner, reef. The clearest water is in the foreground. While it looks really shallow, it's about 20' deep here....this may well be my new screen saver! It honestly did look just like this.
And that's it from St Vincent and the Grenadines..We had a fabulous trip, and now we're ready for home. (We just wish our tans would hang on long enough to show off in Oak Harbor!)
