Petit Byahaut, St. Vincent all to ourselves

How lucky are we to find a piece of paradise and have it all to ourselves?  When we arrived there was a French Catamaran in here, it’s crew snorkeling around but we found just enough space to fit in.  The swells were making it a bit uncomfortable and within the first half hour we had swung around 180 degrees on our anchor…something the Captain just hates as it makes for a tenuous anchor hold.  To fix our situation we pulled out a stern anchor and tied up to a tree on shore.  Then the catamaran left and we are now enjoying this deserted piece of heaven all to ourselves once again…making up lots of stories about the deserted huts on shore and “banditos”.  This afternoon was enjoyed by a snorkel around and then watching the two “blow-holes” right behind Jay Sea Dee as the tide came in.  We watched a beautiful sunset too and saw the myth busting “GREEN FLASH”.  Just around the corner is THE BAT CAVE.  It is a cave for divers with two species of bats:  the fishing bat and the St. Vincent fruit bat…I hope to see neither one tonight.
