The sail from Mustique to Bequia was short and exciting. Starting with a gentle breeze, we were overtaken by a squall that gave us up to 30 kts and a lot of rain too. An hour later we took out the reef and unfurled the genoa again and by 1:30 pm we entered Admiralty Bay. A beautiful and wide bay with as much as 75 yachts and cats already anchored... Still there was enough room and it didn't take too long before another 'Walter' helped us with a mooring buoy.
Next came the bread man, the ice man, the water and diesel guy and the lobster guy :-)
Port Elisabeth is the main village and not too big. It's picturesque and totally ready for all the yachties. I managed to have the gas canisters filled and get the laundry done. Bequia is also famous for it'scraftsman for all kind of woodwork. So I went to Caribbean wood to get a new teak handrail that was broken. However, Caribbean Wood was closed for the holiday... :-( 
Another yachty told me to go to Parish Workshop, Jim would be able to help me. It took me some time to find him and indeed it was only a workshop. But Jim was very friendly man and did help me out. He made me a new handrail, by hand and did it right away. He was a real craftsman but it still took him over an hour to fix it. I was watching him all the time and I must say that I was impressed by his skills. When he was done he asked me if he could ask $ 60 EC, that is about € 20..... I told him that that was perfectly okay and thanked him very much. Back home that peace of wood would have cost me at least 5 times as much and it would definitely not be better or nicer!
This morning we went for a dive. That was amazing, not only because of the fish but far more because of the scenery. Rock formations with numerous kinds of coral in beautiful colors. Too bad my camera doesn't go that deep...
After the dive we checked out at customs and immigration and did some shopping. Tomorrow morning at daybreak we'll leave for St Lucia and have dinner in Rodney Bay. That will be Marc's and Clare's last night... They'll leave Saturday.... :-(
