Sailing on Fortitude (July 18-23)

Seagulls resting on the bow of a boat (Jul 19, 2004, 10:20am) On our way back to the Fortitude, from our supply run, the seagulls had left the upside down dingy. However, I did see a bunch of seagulls (the same ones?) perched on the bow of this boat.

Big Cay and West Cay of Bequia (Jul 19, 2004, 11:02am) When we left Admiralty Bay, we went along the southern shore of the bay. This is a picture from the Fortitude looking west. The two islands are Big Cay and West Cay (rightmost). The rest of the land is part of Bequia proper.

Moonhole on Bequia (Jul 19, 2004, 11:08am) This is a picture of the famous "moonhole" development on Bequia's south shore. Moonhole was a natural development build in the 1960's. The dwellings were made of nothing but stone, wood and whalebone (no windows, only openings in the stone). This is a picture of the original moonhole house. It was named because the full moon would set, twice a year, though the hole in the natural arch. Rumor says that the development was abandoned after a large rock came crashing through the bedroom ceiling.
