Bequia to The Pitons - 53 nm. Getting under way early for the passage north past St. Vincent and back to St. Lucia will provide the best of both worlds: a fun open-water sail with time to enjoy the beauty of the Pitons and the town of Soufri�re. Treat yourself to a fine meal at one of the restaurants. [links]
Marigot Bay to the Pitons - 9 nm. After enjoying a refreshing lunch at one of the many restaurants near the marina, set sail on the first leg of your adventure with a short passage along the island's western shore. The lush green rain forest rises into the clouds atop Mount Gimie and the other soaring heights that make St. Lucia so beautiful. Soon the conical twins, Petit and Gros Piton, both of which are more than 2,400 feet in elevation, appear off the port bow. Pick up a mooring north of Petit Piton, and head ashore to explore the natural wonders of the area, which include waterfalls and sulfur springs.

Bequia to Mustique - 14 nm. A cruise in the Grenadines wouldn't be complete without stopping at this exclusive, privately owned island, home to approximately 90 sprawling mansions of the world's rich and famous, though that's not its chief attraction. Mustique is special because it's so unspoiled. Sailors are welcome to hike and bike the roads and trails; touring via taxicab is another option. You can pick up a mooring in Britannia Bay, then go ashore to explore. Stop by Basil's Bar, one of the most famous in the Caribbean, for dinner and drinks in an informal setting. Of course, upscale dining is also available!
Mooring: Moorings are available. Anchoring space is plentiful, and the holding is generally good in the more popular locations. In other parts of the bay, holding is less desirable, and northerly swells can make for an uncomfortable night. In addition to Admiralty Bay, there's a snug and picturesque anchorage at Friendship Bay, well worth a visit.
Dinghy dockage: Dinghy dockage is available.
Things to do: There are literally dozens of bars and restaurants, too many to list. However, a few options include the Frangipani Hotel for a romantic dinner featuring Caribbean fare, Auberge des Grenadines for sumptuous lobster and other seafood, and the Tradewinds Yacht Club restaurant, Devil's Table, which has good food for all budgets and a charming island ambience. For charterers seeking a bit of pampering, get a massage at Jack's Spa & Beauty Salon, or play a game of tennis at one of several courts. Hiking is popular on Bequia, along the beaches and on the trails in the hills of Mount Pleasant. Visit the Bequia Maritime Museum, the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, or the home of one of Bequia's most famous harpooners, Athneal Ollivierre, where there's a small whaling museum. Bequia is both beautiful and filled with attractions. It's a great stop on any St. Lucia yachting itinerary.
Facilities: Fuel, water, ice, showers, laundry facilities, garbage disposal, provisions, propane, Internet access (Wi-Fi too!), and taxicabs are available.
Tobago Cays to Mayreau - 4 nm. Still very much in island mode, another day of pure leisure is in order. It's only an hour or less to the next recommended anchorage, Mayreau's Salt Whistle Bay, and along the way there's plenty to do and see. Palm Island is a wonderful spot to drop the hook and enjoy lunch ashore. Casuarina Beach is beautiful and has a pleasant beachside restaurant. A major yachting center in the southern Grenadines, Clifton Harbour on nearby Union Island hums with activity. It has plenty of shops and restaurants. Anchor for the night a few miles north in Salt Whistle Bay and enjoy dinner at the Salt Whistle Bay Club. here
