Chatham Bay
From Petite Martinique and Petite St. Vincent, it was a
short 2hr. sail to Chatham Bay on Union Island. While here, we were “off the
grid” (no internet) and so I have some catching up to do.

smart fella .... why crawl up when down (to the water) is easier?
mom couldn't take her eyes off him!
Chatham Bay has a long sand beach and offers good
snorkeling. It was here that I saw my first octopus and Gil saw a moray eel!

The fish life here is particularly rich and attracts all kinds of
birds.
there's always room for one more

feel that breeze!
While anchored here, a couple of the classic Windjammer
charter sailboats came in and rafted up with each other behind our little
Serenada. Turns out, there was a wedding being celebrated on board. That night,
a huge bonfire was arranged on shore for the wedding guests.

we had dinner out - just the two of us
We spent some time hiking on shore, and came across a couple
of tortoises. One of the locals was telling us that they are considered a
nuisance because they eat up their garden produce?!
healthy air plants
The sunsets were also mesmerizing ….. I never seem to tire
of watching Caribbean sunsets J
