Admiralty Bay, Bequia, The Grenadines

After a great day on Christmas Day, with a morning of Skype calls to family and then a beer ashore at Coco’s bar over looking Invincible, we enjoyed a full Turkey dinner. Later that afternoon we also had a visit from Santa who arrives by boat for those in yachts and was rewarded with a couple of cold Carib beers (as there were no Reindeer, no carrots needed).

Boxing Day was a fairly quiet day onboard, the wind continues to be very gusty, so we just enjoyed a bit of reading and a bit of swimming from the boat. I have just started the Patrick O’Brian series which Kevin consumed in the Canaries, so am best not disturbed once started!

In the evening we went ashore for a meal out, after a bit of walking around we opted for the Porthole restaurant on the shoreside in Port Elizabeth. We had conch fritters for starters which were very nice and tasted rather potato-like. I then had lobster and Kevin tuna for our main courses, both of which were unfortunately rather disappointing. The lobster was over cooked and the tuna full of bones, the wine was rather nice however and we had a local guitarist all to ourselves so it was still a good night. It was fairly quiet ashore everywhere, perhaps due to the gusty winds.
