Bequia
Our Posts about Bequia
Dear Americans,
Let’s not beat around the bush. You’ve got a problem. According to a recent interactive study conducted on behalf of our friends at JetBlue, 57% of you will have unused vacation time at the end of the year. And not just a couple hours here and there. On average, you leave 11 vacation days on the table each year.
At just seven square miles, the beautiful little island Bequia still manages to claim the title of “largest among the Grenadines!”
On our recent sailing adventure aboard Trust Me (charted through Sail Oasis), we paid a visit to this “island in the clouds” as it was known in Arawak to pick up provisions before charting a course deeper into the Grenadines. As captain Kevin explained to me, the further you sail into the Grenadines away from St. Vincent, the more expensive everything gets.
A bag of ice in St. Vincent? Maybe 5EC. On Bequia? Around 10EC. And on the smaller islands like Mustique?
I hear there’s some big movie coming out that has to do with lovable pirates sailing all over the Caribbean with beautiful women looking for treasure.
You might think Uncommon Caribbean would be all over that kind of thing…
Well, you’d be wrong.
Nope.
Not gonna do it.
You see, flights of fancy are fun, but we here at UC are trying to bring you the real Caribbean, and the real pirates of the Caribbean were the last people you’d drop $20 to spend two hours with… Especially in 3D.
The first clue that might alert you to a real pirate in your midst, even before seeing one, would be the smell.
Nothing happens when you sit at home.
I always make it a point to carry a
camera with me at all times…
I just shoot at what interests me
at that moment.
That’s a quote from legendary photographer Elliott Erwitt and some damn good advice for anyone—whether you’re an amateur photographer, avid traveller or just someone who wants to fill their life with stories worth telling. “Nothing happens when you sit at home.” I like it.
As far as the always carrying a camera part… Well, over the course of my little 8 day sailing adventure last week and 3 days in Grenada, I took exactly 3609 photos.
