St. Vincent to Bequia

When we are underway within a few miles of shore we always are vigilent to keep a close look-out for any area fishermen that may be on our track. We're sure that fishing alone in their small boats on the open sea is enough challenge without dodging passing sailboats. We have been especially careful lately as the fishermen are propelling their boats with just oars.
As we moved along St. Vincent's south shore we noticed that something was making quite a commotion in the distant water. Our closer inspection found us in the midst of 40-50 porpoises. We "danced" back and forth with them for quite some time. It appears Elvis Stoyko may have taken some inspiration from them as they wowed us with their triple and quad spins in the air.
While moving, with the porpoises along-side, we passed a local fisherman who sat with his oars in hand, steadying his boat, as the whole pod swam under him.
When we changed course and headed offshore the porpoises stayed behind.
On our approach to Bequia undersail, a man standing in an inflatable dinghy, zoomed around us taking photos. We would discover the next morning that he is Kenmore Henville, a professional photographer with extraordinary talent and balance. Thanks to him we have the special treat of photos to commemorate our arrival to the Grenadines, one of the world's most beautiful cruising grounds - our dream destination.
