Island Hopping - Heading South - The Windwards
Union Island to Carriacou (Anse La Roche)

Anchor to Anchor - June 7, 2008
8 miles - 1 1/2 hours

We cleared out of customs in the Grenadines at Union Island and sailed the short distance of 8 miles south to over-night in Carriacou.
Anse La Roche is an amazingly beautiful, picturesque, small cove that is listed as a day anchorage only in our guide book. Unable to resist the lure of its charm we decided to take our chances on over-nighting.
Signs on the beach state that it is a turtle nesting area and indeed the next morning there were tracks in the sand from at least one of the huge leatherbacks plus a couple of other smaller turtles.
