Feb 2011.

Just had a great 2 weeks in the Grenadines again!
Busy Bequia, Music Festival weekend

Started off in Bequia at the annual BEQUIA MUSIC FEST! followed by some awesome 25 knot mornings in Union and Mayreau lit up on my 9m ENVY over the next week.
Mayreau had some great waves in early Feb and a good wind direction for the butter on the inside of Saltwhistle Bay.


Breakfast Stop, Union Is.

Seckie and Vanessa's, Chatham Bay Union Island, Worlds BEST BBQ LOBSTER
This last trip took us all the way down to Grenada, so along the way we stopped at one of my favourite nooks of the Windward Islands .... White Island, Saline Island and Cassada Rocks lie south of Carriacou home to many dangerous reefs, rocks and notorious for super strong currents but also a great little cruising ground that is still secluded, i imagine because of these hazzards.
Solitude
Not reccomended unless you are experience reef navigator and have some local knowledge. We spent an awesome couple of days here chillin out and surfing (the wind had left us for a couple of days) before making the 6 hour run down to Grenada.
Whales off Grenada coast
We were blessed with the company of 4 whales about 16-20ft long as we passed the west coast of Victoria on Grenada.
Now I am back in St Lucia getting CARLA ready to head up north this weekend on a 3 week trip looking for the sickest waves we can find in the Leeward Islands of St Martin / Barbuda / Antigua and Guadeloupe.
With good mates Ben Todd and Olly Clatworthy from www.kitesurfbeaches.com coming along and some repeat guests joining us from israel, I will keep the Log updated at least weekly over the next month as there should be plenty of pics and video. Stay Tuned...................................
