The last few days were rainy and squally so we just stayed put in Union Island and barely left the boat, actually. Kevin had downloaded a bunch of old arcade games from the internet so we wasted a lot of time playing those. I keep seeing the blocks of "Tetris" falling down in front of my eyes as I try to fall asleep at night. I think that might be a sign to lay off the video games for a while.
We checked out of St. Vincent and the Grenadines this morning and for once the customs officials were not surly! It took us by surprise but the customs agents on Union Island were by far the friendliest we've encountered. The guy made a few jokes and asked us how we were enjoying our Caribbean trip. Then he gave us our clearance and didn't even charge us anything. If only all customs agents could be that nice.
We motored the five or so miles to Petit Martinique (which is actually a part of Grenada) and hit their fuel dock for some diesel, and then we motored half a mile over to Petit St. Vincent (which is still part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines) to anchor, since the holding is better here in soft sand. In fact it's so sandy that there's not much to see while snorkeling, which is why I noticed a pair of sunglasses resting on the bottom in about 8 feet of water. I dove down and when I'd rinsed them off I found out they were Ray Bans without a scratch on them. Cool -- new sunglasses!
Happy Summer Solstice!
