The Catamaran Adventures of Noel and Ceu

Another episode

St Vincent was our next stop, where we had previously spent some time and tried to hike up to the Volcano. The trail was in bad shape from the Hurricane. The tour guides had been told the trail was cleared. After we spoke about how important it is for the Tourism Industry to have it open, he got together with other guides and cleared the way. Invited us to come back and do the hike. It was amazing! Sure worth another trip back……even when you come back to the bay and your Kayak is gone!

Yes, with so much security around the resort in front of our boat, we thought it would be safe! We figured some kids had taken it for a joy ride. Well, close. They were gone fishing! A fisherman told us not to worry, he saw some boys earlier in a red kayak. He picked up his fishing boat, took us to our home and a few minutes later he returned with the kayak and the boys. They arrived at our boat, they looked so young and innocent, never said a word to us. I saw the pail they had, ask them if they had fun and how much fish they caught. They showed it to me. A few nice fish there, including snapper. Well I was speechless too. That was probably their dinner. I said thank you to the fisherman and gave him some beer. Ironically that morning I had told Noel, we should give away one of our kayaks to the kids in that Village. They probably would love it. But now I feel we really need that spare one in case the next time, the kayak doesn’t return to us and we have no ride home!

St Vincent has a reputation for unfriendly people and thefts on Yachts. I must say, everyone there was nice to us, and went out of their way to please us. They even returned our Kayak after a successful fishing trip.

    Wow! What an amazing experience.
    One of the women on our cruise had a gold necklance pulled off her neck in Havana. We never had any problems.
