Sailing on Fortitude (July 18-23)

A sailboat approaches West Cay (Jul 19, 2004, 11:11am) Big Cay is the small island in the center of the picture. West Cay is the next island to its right. The left side of the picture shows the west most point of the island of Bequia. As you can see, we were not the only sailboat heading for the cays this morning.

West Cay, Bequia (Jul 19, 2004, 11:16am) A close-up of West Cay, an island just off the southwest point of Bequia. We sailed past this cay on our way from Bequia to Union Island, to the south.

Isolated house on Union Island (Jul 19, 2004, 03:40pm) Four and a half hours after leaving Bequia behind, we come to Union Island (a trip of around 17 miles). This is a house I spotted on a ridge on the northwest point of Union Island.
