Bequia2 Grenadines 27th Jan – 1st Feb

I know! I know!... I’m rubbish at keeping this thing up to date! We have been busy doing sunny stuff and enjoying the Caribbean. We spent longer than anticipated in Bequia and our initial plan of 10 days in the Grenadines has rapidly gone out of the window.

In Bequia, we saw most of the island using a taxi tour over two hours, sat in the back of a Nissan pick up truck while Terrence our driver gave us all the facts and figures.

We have also been SCUBA diving, clocking up another 3 dives with ‘Dive Bequia’ the local PADI centre, the best being the last dive, our first ever wreck dive over 'Devil's Table'. We didn’t enter the wreck but just going around and over this sunken trawler was absolutely amazing!

When we were not snorkeling our two favorite haunts are the Green Boley that serves the best boneless chicken Roti’s on the island (so we are told) and Jacks Bar on Margaret Beach where we often indulge in cocktails while the sun sets.

The rest of the time has been spent relaxing...

We have also taken the next step as ‘Sea Pikeys’ now baking bread and catching rain water in the dinghy cover. The water has a slight blue hue to it from the canvas so we only use it for washing up. Our best day so far yielded 25 litres in 4 hours (that’s some heavy rain) before we ran out of containers! For those interested:

Pressure Cooker Bread (1 loaf).
2 Cups Flour (general purpose)
1tsp Salt
1 tsp Yeast (instant)
150ml Water (room temp)

Mix dry ingredients, stir in water, knead, leave in warm draught free place for 1 hour, knead again and place in pan, leave 30 mins. Add approx 1 inch of water to pressure cooker. Place pan on trivet in pressure cooker so pan stays above the water. Bring to boil. Place on smallest burner at lowest setting for 25 minutes. Turn the loaf out and let cool & dry.
