Sailing with the Treleavens - The Grenadines
http://www.sail-world.com/index.cfm...d=0&tickerCID=0
For the past two weeks the Treleaven family, with their mast removed have motored south from Martinique to the Grenadine Islands and back again. ......Port Elizabeth on Bequia is a delightful natural Harbour, and a steel band on shore at night sees Ian and Nicola salsa-dancing in the sand. Princess Margaret beach with its turquoise water, white sand beach lined with palm trees is a welcome anchorage and swim ashore. Seven miles away is the peaceful billionaire’s island of Mustique, privately owned but can be still enjoyed by the public. Princess Margaret was the first to own a house here in 1968. Current owners are Mick Jagger, Tommy Hilfiger, Shania Twain and Bryan Adams who were all present during our stay, plus Hugh Grant. Hiring a mule -as they call an open jeep - we go ‘mansion’ hunting around the island. Beware of the land tortoises crossing the road, one has to stop and carry them out of the way. Mansions we do find and even get to see through Bryan Adams modern water front secluded home on a private beach.
