Up early and morning dip/ breakfast as usual.  Today we are going to Mustique, a fabled rather unique “construct”. The island is some 5x2 km and was apparently uninhabited until 1960 when it was “found” (?) by an English entrepreneur who promptly turned it into a privately owned housing association.  Here lives Princess Margret, Mick Jaegger, Elton John and other celebs.  A narrow slate of land to the west is accessible to commoners like us.  We moor at a buoy (EC$ 200), walk the land southwards and snorkel a bit in very shallow water.  A lot of "private property, no trespassing” and a lot of poisonous trees (?!) (“do not stand beneath them in rain…!).

Eventually we did have dinner at the famed Basil’s Bar, very good and reasonably priced, actually.  The swells come under the board walk where the table was laid and almost sloshed around our feet.  Exotic !!
