Pinney's Beach, Nevis

[Kevin's Post]Oops, I accidently typed in the wrong longitude in our last post, so this post has the corrected location for those of you following us with Google Earth. Last night we dinghied over to a nearby beach bar that seemed lively with christmas lights strung up and quite a few people at the tables. Beaching 'The Beast' is always a challenge since it is so heavy. Our dinghy weighs about twice what the typical dinghy does. The beach was pretty steep, but luckily there was a guy walking down the beach who helped us pull it up. There was quite a bit of surf so we wanted to be sure it was far enough up the beach that it wouldn't get swamped. We had a nice dinner of burgers and beers before we surrendered to the mosquitos and called it a night. This morning, we went to town to clear out with customs. Every island we go to we have to clear in and out with customs and immigration the same as if you were traveling by plane. It can be a royal pain sometimes, first you have to figure out where to go, then you have to figure out what their hours are. Our guidebooks are pretty good about telling us where to go, but usually way off on the hours. We tried to clear out on Friday since we are leaving on Sunday and we thought they were closed on the weekends. Turns out they are open, so they made us come back today since you have to leave within 24 hours of clearing out. And of course we had to pay 10 bucks to leave the country. Tomorrow we leave Nevis for Montserrat. It will be about a 35 mile trip.
