LinoCat

We do not have phone or internet, so this update is done via SSB radio. Here in the bay there is BAGALUT, VANORA, LA MEDIANOCHE and LINOCAT. Yesterday night we had a beach BBQ with the Barracuda that Walter from Bagalut had caught. Everyone was bringing salad or somehing and it was great fun. Snorkeling here is good, there are even some turtles around. Tomorrow we will move to Mayreau, Saltwhistle bay

Yesterday evening we have been on Vanora together with Ralf and Inge and Walter an Brigitte from the Bagalut, a self built aluminium catamaran which weighs only 4 tons. It was a nice evening. Here are some pictures from the beach of Petit St. Vincent. This is a private island but you can go ashore if staying on the beach. We bought a Tuna this morning and some of the group are trying to get lobster. We might move to Union island today, maybe Clifton first to get rid of the rubbish and then to Chatham bay. The snorkeling should be great there but there is no phone or internet at all!

Just arrived here in paradise. We will now meet with the Vanora and Medianoche Crew. 4 german catamarans are here next to each other. After the coffee we went for snorkeling around the boat to check the anchor. Like always here there is plenty to see and a stingray was just gliding along next to our anchor.

A Philip Starck design built by Blohm&Voss in Germany. 119m long 2x6000HP strong. A very interesting design, we saw her today when we passed through the Tobago Cays.

Since we have many Lani fans, here are pictures from yesterday and today. She was swimming and had a really spicy sausage. But she liked it! She is talking a lot and the favorite word is "NO NO NO", which is sometimes a bit stressful. After us having a nap together we will now go ashore and have an icecream and coffee. The wind is hauling today with more than 20knots and tomorrow morning we might leave for Petit St Vincent to meet VANORA and LA MEDI ANOCHE.

After Michael and Lani had an afternoon nap, they went for a swim. Lani also made a new friend in Bequia, a local girl. But als we met some old friends, Niklas and the Esperumeru are here in Bequia and so we will meet them tomorrow. Tonight there is a chicken BBQ meeting with the Momo and Heimkehr crew in a local restaurant.

We have cleared in (175EC Dollar; if you divide by 4 you get UR) and had a first swim. The water is clear and 28 Celcius. Lani is enjoying the grandparents and life is good.
