Moody Blues Cruise: Deb & Phia Arrive!

THE CREW ARRIVES!

We left Bequia about two in the afternoon on Monday 1-19-15, and sailed 8-miles NE over to St. Vincent the capital of the St. Vincent and its 32 Grenadines (islands).

In Young Island (photo above) Cut, we took a mooring buoy for the night. The anchoring in the cut is iffy, and the current is swift. Being we would be leaving the boat shortly to go to the airport it was well worth the $50--that's EC (Eastern Caribbean) money, only $20 USD. Like the mon says: "You no worry on a mooring buoy." True, true. (Not MB in the photo.)

We locked the dinghy up at shore on the St. Vincent side of the cut and hiked up the small hill to grab a bus. We knew from being here before with Greg & Kathy s/v Indigo, that the bus could drop us off right at E.T. Joshua Airport. It too, was maybe 8 miles away from where Moody Blues was were moored in the cut.

Deborah Sarlo and Phia Oceana's flight was coming in around 6:20 p.m. They had left L.A. 19 hours earlier. It was L.A. to Miami, change planes, Mia to Barbados, then Barbados to St. Vincent.

"CATCH OUR DRIFT?" don't ya love it?

We didn't catch their drift so had to hide out. We (can't really see Gene) look really happy. This is Deb's third time visiting Moody Blues. She's our first mate! No, I am, she's 2nd mate!
