Heron Hotel Kingstown

Bailey dropped us at the ferry dock and we are finally on our way to Bequia. It was an easy 1 hour ferry ride from St Vincent to Bequia. There was no shortage of cabs when we disembarked. Tha cabs are all pick up trucks with covered beds and padded seating. We felt a little strange hopping in the first time but it will become second nature in the coming days. We checked into our accomodations at Lower Bay (all of the beaches are called Bays ...

... and exhausted! Well, may as well try and make it, I thought, so gritted my teeth and dragged myself upward with burning thighs…..and then the real hardship began – we were now in the cloud and it was cold – really cold – and then the wind started whipping across the area just below the rim of the crater and nearly blew us over. We huddled together and ate our lunch still being buffeted by the howling wind waiting for the cloud to ...

... plane, Sunday no ferry and not advisable to swim with a couple of suitcases and everyone starts talking about "tricky waters" - sounded like a blues/soul singer. Only option - get a small fishing boat to take you across. Oh yeah?! Weather forecast - tropical storms imminent. Oh yeah?!<br>Zoot arrived at the jetty near Basil's Bar in his 15-20 foot boat - very narrow...."No worry, Man - I give you good ride" he assured us as we chugged out of ...

... the old 60's dittie 'I'm a Stool Watcher' ("here comes one now, da dah da dah"). Anyone need a life besides me? Then the bad news comes. The boat isn't going tomorrow, and the next day... well, who knows? How can you really predict these things? I'm ******, and I'm not even British... or drunk. Turns out the boat isn't even the problem; it's the road, a twenty-five mile stretch of pea gravel and sweat, a monument to uncertain ambitions and inherent ...

... in strong winds and hot sun. We took fourth (missing third by 17 seconds). We left Bequia the next day. Destination: L'Ance Guyac on Canouan Island. We just spent the night here anchored next to two boats - one with a helicopter on its stern and another with the unfortunate name of "Hooter Patrol IV". The most distressing aspect of that name is that there are/were three others with like names. We took off the next morning for Salt Whistle Bay on the island of Mayreau ...

... to Prime Minister Sir James Mitchell and still owned by his family, this appealing property centers on a building that resembles a New England whaler's home with its cedar shake and pale blue shutters. Not only is "The Frangi" one of the most popular hangouts for travelers, it is also highly regarded as the place to be by the locals, giving it a uniquely blended, homey personality. The cabanas on the hill are ...

... would, for free' 'well your wrong' said she 'no space on the plane, now get out of the queue' After trying the puppy dog eyes, the pout and finally the all out sulk (none of which worked -she was truly a women of stone) I convinced her that my dad was on the committee of the Civil Aviation Authority and would soon hear of this. She called her manager and they decided to charge me $69US to carry it to St. Vincent- a 40minute flight! They then promptly lost the board ...

... who was also Basils (he of Basils Bar) girlfriend. So because of this we were afforded a brief glimpse into Mustique life. Dianna said it was a shame we hadn't arrived a day sooner, because her close friend who is chairman of the Mustique Conservation Committee flew out the day we arrived and was curious about the work we were doing, and may have liked to meet us. Said friend was Mick Jagger-that almost got me, he's a personal hero of mine, probably best we didn't meet ...
