Bequia,

[N13d00:40, W061d14:42]

We arrived in Bequia yesterday at 4:00 PM after an extremely exhilarating motor-sail. We left St.Lucia at 4:00 am, and started our day with a 2 knot current going against us. Yuk! That killed our boat speed. We had high winds, very high, sometimes in fact we saw 33knots on the wind indicator. At one point in the day, we saw a pod of about 30 dolphins. I have never seen that many at one time. Very cool. As we were coming into the harbor at Bequia, after a very long day of boisterous winds our engine would not start . I was steering under sail and the wind was very fluky at the entrance of the harbor. Glenn ran below to bleed the injectors and thank God it worked. Meanwhile, our friend Jeff called on the radio , all I said was "can't talk - no engine". So Jeff quickly put his engine on his dinghy and came out to rescue us. By that time Glenn had fixed the problem but it was a very nice try from Dragonfly.

Bequia is part of the Grenadines just south of St. Vincent. We plan to stay here a few days waiting on the upcoming wave to pass. It is a very safe enclosed harbor.
