Union Island (still in St. Vincent)


We left Bequia this morning after holing up for 2 days for the pressure wave to move through.  We had torrential rain squalls.  Today we had very nice crossing from Bequia to Union Island under a half reefed main and the small jib and we still did between 8.5 & 10 knots.  Bruce really wanted to put up more sail area but asked himself..."why??" 
Once anchored,  the boys decided to have a race to see who could get to the bow first - the winner getting a beer.  Guess who won?  The guy who bought the beer in the first place...but he also had bigger fins, longer legs and a snorkel.  And Simba lost his shorts trying to beat Bruce to the bow!!  Sorry, no pics of that.
TURTLES!!
