Work Completed Underway: Part 4
Having made it this far south by late August, we felt the need to relax a little and enjoy the marvellous, clear waters of Bequia, SVG. We anchored off Tony Gibbons Beach, resupplied missing fishing lures at Wallace & Co. (further round the bay) and Lulley’s (right in town), then decided to have our dodger & awning made up whilst we cruised SVG.
Canvas Work. We wanted a dodger sewn up (having had the stainless bows constructed in St Martin) and, with an extra attachment between the dodger and bimini, the whole cockpit would be effectively protected from sun, spray and rain. We also had a huge awning made for over the boom – we certainly have made good use of it since, even on the hard at Deltaville! I would certainly recommend Withfield Laidlow as a friendly and professional canvas man – he’s also the agent for North Sails, sailmakers in Bequia. He also suggested, given the low profile of our dodger, we should add an extra bow (a third) to our frame to provide more support.

While our order was being made, we took a week to tour the nearby islands of Tobago Cays and Mayreau. Well, someone's gotta do it!
If you're wondering about Elvis, yes it's true! We found him crooning in a delightful little restaurant in Bequia. Of course, it doesn't pay as well as Gracelands Inc but why not ditch the rat race for an island paradise...
