We had a pretty quiet day today. Started with a swim and eventually we worked our way into the shore to go through email and all that stuff. We picked our favorite local cafe "Maria's" and enjoyed the deck while we got caught up on our electronic business. Maria's is owned by Andy who has founded and funded the Bequia youth sailing program which is located on the beach right in front of his deck. It was great to see all the kids out sailing it looked like they were having a great time. We also meant the cruising couple next to us who were in their early 70's and had a two year old 50' catamaran named "Second Chance". Twenty years earlier the skipper was given 12 weeks to live and underwent a heart transplant at the last moment so his wife and him decided if they ever got a sailboat she would be called "Second Chance" pretty cool. They have now completed their two year goal and have the boat up for sale, what a great story. The cafe also had an Irish rugby game on in the background so it kind of felt like the Celtic corner on a Saturday afternoon. We headed back to the boat pretty early so that we could get ready for our big 60 mile sail back up to Marigot Bay in the morning. After we hauled off the outboard and store our dinghy on deck we were ready for a few boat drinks and a quiet evening full of stars. Next time we will spend more time in Bequia, what a gem.
