In the Carribean

Carribean Sailing day 12 (new year's eve)
Aquaryd and New Year's eve

New Years Eve…on Mustique would have been extraordinary, but, No, we must start to make our way back north, the ladies fly out 3 days from now.

So after having had (a rather bad) breakfast ashore at the “Purple House” we set sails for St.Vincent again. 

The nicety of sailing here is thst the winds are very constant easterly, 15-25 knots while you are sailing north or south.  So you have a reach in fresh wind and make good distances.  We moor on a buoy in the sound inside Young Island on the southern tip of St.Vincent.  On the island itself lies a very nice looking, posh resort with bar and restaurant , tennis courts, and a lot of small bungalows up on the hill side.  A stone path led around to the west side for the sun set, which was not to be today: A large squall cloud loomed out there.  Here we met Jimmy, an American from Mississippi, who showed great interest in “boat life”, apparently very different from the week he had had on the island: He made the impression of being somewhat trapped.

Marion and Leif took an evening walk...in the starting rain after which we prepared new years dinner the best we could: Some nice apperitifs, champagne…...

Fire cracker celebration started exactly at 2400, oh, discipline !  The resort spent a lot, some on the “main land” and in the far south, on the horizon, Mustique exploded.
