Bequia

When we got to Bequia -- very early in the morning, the bay was full of yachts; we finally found a spot to anchor just off Princess Margaret Beach but the bay was a bit like Piccadilly Circus in the rush hour on a Friday. Because we’d done a night passage, Chris went off to have a nap and the kids made Christmas snowflakes, snowmen and baubles to decorate the saloon. Kind of strange – snowflakes, sun, rain and rainbows…

We had a long dinghy ride into town to check in at customs and to provision for Christmas Day. We managed to buy some “holiday cookies” and other goodies for the day. After a swim off the boat, we settled down to watch Holiday Inn, eat dinner and wait for Santa to arrive.
