 ...Finally!! HERE IT IS THE MIDDLE OF APRIL..... and just Today the swim conditions are what I'd consider " as NORMAL"......... for here in Paradise. Those of you with swimming pools will hopefully understand when I say that just today, the water has that crispness, clarity, and sparkle that comes usually when all the pool chemicals are working just correct. As people who have travelled here since December 2005 can tell you, frankly conditions here have not been what I'd call "normal" as defined by my past 15+ years here. NORMAL here is JUST PERFECT!! The ocean has been cloudy - with sand moving from one place to another...... The ocean has been rolling and choppy..... Surges along the seashore, crashing on to the sand is not normal...... It's been breezy but high humidity and very frequent, though quick, rain showers...... The islands remained too green to be the so-called DRY SEASON...... Well, today that is all changed and I am happy to report that water clarity is perfect...... water temperature is just perfect around 83°F..... dry is the name of the day with raindrops rarely falling........ views are clear and crisp under brilliant blue skies with a few puffy white clouds. Come Visit Us! |

and gives me time to unwind and relax from the hustle and bustle life here on an isolated island with about 5,000 locals. The exercise does the old body good. And after all, there's not much else to do here ~ except swim. ~ After the swim lately I've been looking for sea shells - with mask+snorkel - and today I noticed a colorful shell on the bottom so I picked it up and noticed that it was really two shells that were stuck somehow together and when I pried it open OUT JUMPED a tiny creature and I knew at once that it was a baby octopus and it squirted a tiny baby octopus cloud as it hurried down to the sandy bottom and immediatley out from view - burried itself under the soft sand. I remember now a few weeks ago - perhaps a month ago - on the chain that anchors a buoy that I use as a turn for my daily swim, I noticed perhaps 100 tiny creatures holding themselves in a tight ball around the anchor chain and hiding in a bit of seeweed/grass that was growing on the chain. I couldn't then figure-out what they were but now I know. These tiny creatures were Baby Octopus right here in Hillsborough Carriacou's Main Town just down from the Main Jetty just off the wide, white sandy beach Come Visit Us! |
Imagine, our friendly agent meets you...with a smile and a small sign as you deplane the steps from your flight arriving Barbados. Get there before 4PM any day and you'll sleep the night here in The Grenadines. No long lines for customs or immigration for Grenadines.Net "in transit" passengers so it's directly on to your gate and to the waiting private aircraft. We will worry with your luggage. Then it's a quick, low level 50-minute flight south to the quaint airport here in The Grenadines...
where your Island Escape begins.
where you are again met and transferred on...
your Island Escape continues.
A real Electric mini-cart vehicle is what we use on Union Island/Palm Island connections.
just like the one in the movies
and away you go for the quick ride
thruThe Anchorage Yacht Club
to the Wooden Jetty where your Speedboat awaits.
Depending upon time and amount of daylight remaining,
relax and have a cool, refreshing drink
at The Anchorage Yacht Club Hotel's outside bar.
Then it's into the speedboat and a quick ride
across the channel
separating Union Island and Palm Island,
or OFF to your cottage or beach villa, or aboard your private yacht.
Your skillful boatsman will wind through
the living coral reef... all YOURS to explore.
to deposit you on the white sand beach in front of your villa
where your friendly maid
will be waiting to meet you and bring you inside your lovely beach house.
Then it's just relax and enjoy your all-inclusive escape
as it unfolds: internet access, daily maid service, private cook who does your shopping as well, your own private yacht bobbing at anchor outside your door ready for a day trip to Canouan perhaps and 18-holes of champion golf. Relax... it's all-inclusive, the house, the staff, the private yacht, the skipper, the hostess, the food and the drink....
are all-included and all exclusively yours,
if just for the day.
