Steve and I moved the boat to Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau, and a far more beautiful anchorage than Canouan. 

 

Bob/Lynn, owners of another PDQ, LEAP OF FAITH, joined us today.  Fortunately, Lynn had antibiotic eardrops aboard, CIPRODEX, rumored to be better than the NEOMYCIN I had been using!  (Hopefully, hers will be.  This reminds me of when my eardrum cracked while Steve and I were in the Berry Islands, Bahamas in 2006.)  Once again, under the weather, I stayed aboard while Steve, Bob and Lynn hiked over the hill to Saline…at least Steve has friends nearby to help pass the time, giving him the opportunity to serve as tour guide to the historic stone church and Robert Righteous and de Youths Restaurant.

I spent the majority of the day resting and industrious Steve completed boat chores.
