Isle de Quatre

Oh yesterday was amazing. I went to an uninhabited island off of Bequia for a day of snorkeling, beaching and general relaxing.




Last week a guy owning a motorboat came to the hotel to tell me about the different tours he can offer... I asked him if he had some brochures. He said no, he did not. So I offered to take photos for him and make him a brochure... and he said great! Now I get to go on all his trips for free and all I have to do is be a tourist. I can't believe my luck.



So I set off yesterday morning with 8 other people who I had met before at the hotel bar. Michael (boat guy) put the fishing line in the water and we motored over the Isle de Quatre and our private beach for the day. A reef blocked off part of the shore making a lagoon perfect for snorkeling and as we were getting out Michael brings over his freshly caught Barracuda along with some red snapper that other fishermen just caught. More relaxing was followed by our beach BBQ with amazing pumpkin mash prepared by Elvis (who usually plays guitar at our hotel) and then listening to 4 guitarists (half the group were musicians) jam the afternoon away.

The group were SO nice and Michael, JR and Elvis were amazing too. Just really really nice laid back people. Check out his website here.
