A Shade of Blues

💙💙💙💙 Even our ferry had to salute this visitor.
Welcome to KORU, the tallest masts ever to come out of the renowned shipbuilder in the Netherlands...Jeff Bezos, owner. We love Amazon 🙂🙂🙂.

This walkway is built and managed by a local charity (also registered in the UK for tax relief 🙃). If you love it - every little helps their maintenance costs 🙏.
They also manage a recycling program and install water tanks for those in need...

There's plenty yachts at anchor - already this season 😀. Bequia growing in popularity! There was a time when few had heard of this special island...

My neighbour in the UK stayed at this featured hotel - she said she preferred Princess Margaret to Friendship Bay🙂🙂🙂. Friendship is lovely, but the swimming and snorkelling is better at PM.

The featured aerial photo of Bequia in this article is not where this upmarket luxury hotel is located - it's on the other side of the island. It does feature Princess Margaret anchorage, De Harbor, Hamilton and A Shade of Blues 😄 which offers a lower price position to BBH ☺️ and an easier walk to the local bars and restaurants.

(Oh - following Hurricane Beryl damage, the turtle sanctuary is closed.)

The only way to get guaranteed sunshine this month will be with a boarding pass. Here’s where to travel in November

Dreaming of Bequia? Came across this 7-years-back video of our neighbourhood. Useful for those that wish to better understand where we are - it's The Blue House above Jack's 😄💙💙💙

We have more pop up hospitality vendors on the beach, Jack's Beach Bar is always working on continuous improvement, but otherwise not much has changed...

Join us at Jack's for delicious cocktails, thirst-quenching sundowners and fabulous food on the beach at Princess Margret. DAILY SPECIALS, LIVE MUSIC, WATERS...

An update on our valued coastal Trail.
The route from A Shade of Blues to Lower Bay remains open. There will be many now walking the main road to and from the Harbour - good exercise. Can also catch a dollar van part-way or take a water or land taxi.

Unfortunately nature has destroyed our walkway into Port Elizabeth. It is now out of action. 🥲 The cliff-side route over to Lower Bay is still good.
Hoping our local water taxi operators can organise to provide an efficient and reliable water taxi service between the functioning jetties - bookable via WhatsApp 😀.
Just a bit more pollution compared to walking from their engines...and a wish for slow speeds around the swimming and snorkelling areas 🙏

New airline routes from the USA coming next season 😃

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines says visitors continue to discover the destination despite the impact of Hurricane Beryl on the southern part of the island’s archipelago. Following the passage of the Category 4 hurricane on July 1, which caused severe disruption to parts of the island chain, tour...
