Beautiful Bequai - What I thought the Caribbean would be like
We left Martinique and had a very pleasant sail to the very south of St Lucia where we took a mooring ball by the Pitons for 2 days while Mandy worked and I fitted my Mantis swivel. (The strongest link in my anchor chain - that's what it said on the box). We didn't go ashore as we weren't checked in to St Lucia but the Piton's were pretty grand. Then it was off on a overnighter to Bequai. We flew, beam reach, 20 knots of wind. We're defo getting the hang of this boat. The swell was from the East and between islands it got a bit choppy until we hit a massive patch of sargasm. It deadened the swell making it very quiet and smooth sailing. The only problem was sargasm popped up in all the sinks. Good job the engine or genny wasn't on, I think it may have blocked the inlets. We arrived in Bequai just before sunrise and bobbed about for an hour or so waiting for some light so we could find an anchorage not near any mooring balls. I'd never heard of Bequai, it was...
