After spending a few weeks in Cariacou it was getting time to head north. With our insurance, we’re required to stay below a specific latitude til November 1st. So we decided to head to The Grenadines to a couple of the islands that were still south of that. The first stop was to check into Union Island.

We decided to anchor over at Palm Cay due to the Clifton anchorage being so tight and so many mooring balls. Once we got checked in and back to the boat we realized it was too rolly to stay at Palm. We decided to make the short hop up to Mayreau Island. We found a quiet anchorage with just us and one other boat.
Decided to Spend a few days there until November 2nd. While we were there we finished up on some lingering boat projects and took care of some maintenance.
First stop going north-Bequia
November 2nd we sailed north from Mayreau to Bequia Island. This is a spot we love. Great anchorage fun restaurants and bars and the people are super friendly.
We were able to get some snorkeling in which is always nice. They also have some great fresh markets on Saturdays. Pretty much fresh fruit on every corner.
Saint Lucia
Due to the weather, we would only stay here for 3 days and then make the sail north to Rodney Bay, St. Luicia.
The sailing has been great, we haven’t had to turn the motor on for much more than anchoring and pulling up our anchor. This is a welcome break from having to motor sail a lot of the trip south.
We spent several days in Saint Lucia, enjoying the sushi restaurant Rituals. One of our favorite sushi restaurants. If you find yourself here definitely stop in for a roll or two. Of course, we did some catching up on a few boat tasks.
As we are moving north up the chain we are hitting some of our favorite spots. Unfortunately, Not many photos were taken at these stops, instead, we were just enjoying the experience.
Martinique
The next stop is Martinique. I love this island. The food, wine, people, it’s just a fun place. We will spend at least a week here. More on what we get up to in Martinique next time.
