Sailing on Fortitude (July 18-23)

Mopion and Petit St. Vincent west end beach (Jul 23, 2004, 09:58am) Off the western end of Petit St. Vincent is a small island (really just a sandbar) called Mopion or Petit St. Richardson. Mopion has a beach umbrella near one end, but nothing else. It is a popular stop for guest of PSV and boaters alike. (In fact, we would visit Mopion in a few days.) In this picture you can see a couple sitting in beach chairs under the umbrella. They presumably came to Mopion using the dingy parked on the right side of the picture.

Mopion Island, near Petit St. Vincent (Jul 23, 2004, 09:59am) In this picture you can see all of Mopion and a lot of Petit St. Vincent as well. In this picture you can see one of the cottages on PSV, cottage 1 on the left-hand side (Little Bluff).

West side beach shelters on Petit St. Vincent (Jul 23, 2004, 10:10am) As we pass to the south of Petit St. Vincent, you can see two of the beach shelters on the shore of West End Beach. (In a few days, we would visit these shelters as well.)
