St Vincent: Petit Bayahaut

We began our journey back to St Lucia via St Vincent in relatively good weather since the ride down had been so wild and we were having to go into the wind and waves on the way back. On our first night, we stopped in a small bay called Petit Bayahaut that’s less than ¼ mile across and 1/8 mile deep. It has a small beach and is backed by steep wooded hills. We anchored in the dark completely alone in the bay – a welcome relief after the crowding in Bequia. In the morning we swam and snorkelled in fantastically clear, blue water. A superyacht and a couple of dive boats turned up – but we had the plum spot! We spotted a peacock flounder – really cool – and picked up a sand dollar.
