St. Vincent1 of 5

At the close of each day sailing the Grenadines your reward is a little sunset swimming in some of the most pristine waters anywhere on earth.

Five+ years have passed since my last visit to Bequia, yet my love for this special little corner of St. Vincent's Grenadines keeps growing stronger.

Phenomenal sunsets play out daily across the Caribbean, though I can hardly imagine any more spectacular than this one at Salt Whistle Bay in Mayreau, the smallest of the inhabited islands of The Grenadines.

As born and bred West Indians, we've had the great fortune to soak in the last sunset of many of our years somewhere in the islands.

These metal treasures are made by a guy known simply as the Tin Man. The name isn't necessarily what you (or I) might think, though...

Celebrated nowhere else, Nine Mornings is a uniquely Vincentian expression of local culture, faith, food, and fun.

Any romanticized dreams of living a pirate's life in the Caribbean likely included this ship, or some close facsimile thereof.

There's a certain avaricious undercurrent to every visit I make to the Grenadines. It's not about food, rum, vile temptresses, or any other such vices.

For all your yacht provisioning needs in Bequia, plus some authentic West Indian charm and treats, it's the Porthole Rest and Bar and Shoreline Mini Market.
