Sailing on Fortitude (July 18-23)

Catamaran rounds Union Island (Jul 21, 2004, 11:33am) On our way north from Tyrell Bay in Carriacou, to Mayreau Island, we passed along the western side of Union Island. Here is a picture of another sailboat against the backdrop of Union Island.

Beach at Saline Bay, Mayreau (Jul 21, 2004, 12:38pm) Four and a half hours after leaving Carriacou, we arrive in Saline Bay in Mayreau; a distance of around 8 miles. Saline Bay has a very nice beach, seen here in this picture, although we never left the boat to visit the beach or the island.

The town on Mayreau (Jul 21, 2004, 12:38pm) There is one little town on Mayreau (whose name I cannot find on any map). The most prominent feature of the town its main road that rises steeply from the Saline Bay (very steeply I am told).
