Petit St. Vincent and Petite Martinique After several busy days with Carnival in Cariacou, we sailed to two tiny islands for some recovery time. Petit St. Vincent (pronounced Petty St. Vincent) and called PSV is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Just a short dinghy ride away, Petite Martinique is part of Grenada. There […]

Carnival

Carriacou, Grenada We got wind of carnival starting in Carriacou, so we checked out of the Grenadines and headed off to Grenada. Most people think of Grenada as the island that the US “liberated” in the 1980’s, but it is a country made up of a number of islands, one of them being the large […]

Rock and Roll Statia

St Eustatius, Leeward Islands Statia, the short name for St. Eustatius, is a small volcano island between Saba and St. Kitts. We sailed over from St. Barth’s, keen to do some diving and hiking.
