DON’T GO THERE

Iain Grant from Erika’s Marine Service on Union Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, just brought to my attention a Cruising World article by Don Street, “The Grenadines of Summer” (January 2018). As always it has some interesting and accurate information. However, Don talks about anchorages on the windward side of Canouan. Unfortunately (for no good reason except the presence of some very rich people), anchoring is now prohibited in this whole area. Don is absolutely right about legally being able to walk on the beaches of Petit Saint Vincent, but while this is so, security guards might try to discourage wandering “yachts-people” when the resort is open.
