Up at 06:00.  Hot night, even with the windscoop.  Came up on deck to find us pointing to the west, which is even more unusual than pointing to the south.

Some small entertainment on the ‘Sailing’ channel – a charter yacht arrived around 06:10, dropped anchor, lifted anchor, moved, dropped anchor, lifted anchor, moved and then dropped anchor again.  They seemed to subscribe to the school of thought of “Drop the anchor and chain, pile it into full astern until it digs”, but that method doesn’t work very well in Bequia.  Much better to drop anchor and some chain, tail back, let out chain, tail back, let out chain, gentle astern, check the anchor.  Two ferries have headed for St. Vincent, along with an inter-island freighter.

Birds are dive-bombing in lower bay, must be fish.  Bread boat water taxi has showed up, heading for ‘Reverie’, and the guard dog is barking.

Went ashore around 0815 to get croissants, none available (not far enough into the cruising season yet), but cinnamon buns available around 09:30.  Popped into an internet cafe and posted another update and read some e-mail.  Passed through Gingerbread around 09:20 and came away with four freshly-baked cinnamon buns; back to the yacht, dinghy up on a plane.  Stayed out of the sun until 12:30, at which point we headed for Mac’s Pizzeria for some pizza.  Dad had the lobster pizza, Mum and I had shrimp pizzas with different toppings – really good pizza, and the Caribbean definition of a shrimp is the same size as a king prawn in the UK.

Went back to ‘Lady Di’, and stayed out of the sun until 15:00, at which point Mum and I went snorkelling on the point between Princess Margaret Bay and Lower Bay while Dad snoozed.  We weren’t expecting to find much in the way of fish and coral, but were pleasantly surprised by what we found.  Observed wrasse, blennies, jellyfish (ouch), parrotfish (large ones at that), a jacknife fish, several cobblers, grunts and blue tangs.

No dinner tonight, still full from Mac’s.  Packed up the boat, ready for the return to her home port tomorrow.
