Why we haven't left Bequia

Well there are several reasons why we haven’t left.

Our first and lamest excuse is that we are waiting for the next weather window.
 

 
 
 


Our second excuse and most reasonable excuse is that I really wanted to establish our Homeschooling routine for 2015 before we are heading off again. That is usually a reason why I don’t like to stop for holidays on the boat, as it is the biggest challenge to get us back into a smooth routine doing our school work. Well let me assure you with a few firm words, patience, commitment and discipline from my side I am happy to announce that we are back in the flow of math, writing, spelling, and our new subject German reading and comprehension. Yeah….
 Our third and best excuse is the 12th Music Festival in Bequia kicked off on Friday, so we went Friday night to experience the 13 man steel band, which was fantastic. That night we were busy making new friends with Pia and Hendrik from SV/ Artemis and getting to know Sylvia and Wolfgang better from SV/Silence. I also discovered my favorite national Bequia cocktail – PBC … Pinapple, Banana, Coconut touched with an ounce of Bayleys…its absolutely delicious and yum. On Saturday afternoon we listened to the music and observed the people at the Beach Hotel in Friendship Bay. We experienced firsthand what the Hotel Frangipani intended to create when they started the Bequia Music Festival 12 years ago. Bringing Music and people together through the vibration of love and movement and yesterday was simply that…the whole park was Rock’n’Rolling to the rhythm of local artists.
Our last and easiest excuse – we simply love the people, the water, the beach  and the atmosphere here in Bequia. What a great place to be ….
