The race to vacation has finally ended. Yay! On our way to Bequia (pronounced Beckway. Does David Beckham really own the island and do we really have to do it his way?).

... been temperamental with stinking hot one minute and pouring rain the next but Christmas Day was sunny and hot all day so by 2 o'clock we were ready to celebrate our 5 course Christmas Dinner. It was nice to have Matt and John with us and made it feel a more festive. Following dinner we rolled off Bella and went to join friends on Seamist for drinks and more food...... The boys got a silent chaos to drag behind the dinghy for Christmas and have been zooming around the ...
