Petit St. Vincent (July 23-27)

Union Island seen from PSV's West End Beach (Jul 24, 2004, 01:45pm)

Italian sailors at anchor off PSV (Jul 24, 2004, 02:36pm) This boat flying the Italian flag was anchored off of the west side of Petit St. Vincent for a few days at least. I took this picture of the boat on July 24th, while we were hanging out at the West End Beach. Two days later I took a picture of its occupants (that's all I will say for now).

The old solar distillation site on PSV (Jul 24, 2004, 02:49pm) On our walk back from the west side to our cottage, we past along the southwest shore of Petit St. Vincent, where there is an old water distillation facility. In the old days (not sure how old), fresh water was distilled from sea water using sunlight. Now a days, Petit St. Vincent uses a more modern technique (reverse osmosis, I assume) and the old solar distillation site has been left to slowly erode.
