Tilly Mint's travels

We dropped off our guests in Marigot Bay and quickly turned the boat around for our next charter that started 48 hours later. The itinerary for that trip was more familiar to us, but we hadn't been down island last year so we were very happy to have a chance to sail the Grenadines again. The Pitons, St Lucia Our first night was spent anchored in between the spectacular Pitons, on the South end of St Lucia. The next day was a long sail past St Vincent to Bequia, our first stop in the Grenadines. As we approached Admiralty Bay, we noticed a small dinghy jumping on the waves towards us, with a man wearing a harness and a camera taking pictures of us. He came by the boat the next morning and our guests decided to purchase the photos. From Bequia we sailed on to Mustique, spent a few days in the postcard-perfect setting of the Tobago Cays, snorkeled the reef around the deserted Sandy Island, and finally dropped off our guests in St Georges, Grenada. A few hours ...

During our last charter Tilly Mint passed the 40,000 nm mark on her log. We have sailed over 25,000 of those with her, and we still love sailing her as much as we did when we first came on board. Many miles were added to the log during the past few weeks, as we went all the way from the Virgin Islands to Grenada, then back up to the Virgin Islands in about 6 weeks. After our holiday charters in the BVIs we took some time to rest in St Martin in January, then sailed to Antigua to pick up our next guests. That charter was a new itinerary for us, and it was great to stop in all the islands that we usually just sail past. Falmouth Harbour, Antigua. Tilly Mint is there, all the way to the right! Our first stop was Deshaies, on the North West corner of Guadeloupe, a lovely little fishing town in a protected bay. Our sistership More Magic pulled in just after us and anchored nearby.
