Khürt WilliamsLeaving Bequia a Day Early
A last morning at Jamdown, an unexpected island tour with family, the Hairoun revelation at Mac's, and an evening of old friends in Kingstown.
DoomsdaysCWSo, a recurring dream that I had some years ago had involved rotting vegetation underfoot and the smell of hydrogen sulfide. Ummm...
"The hydrogen sulfide gas it releases when it rots is not only stinky but can irritate people's eyes, nose and throat, Florida Health says. The seaweed can also contain jellyfish or sea lice that can irritate skin."

Rotis, Rum Punch, and Belmont Walkway
A vegetarian roti with real protein, two rum punches over the bay, and the particular saturated colours of Belmont Walkway on a Wednesday afternoon in Bequia.https://islandinthenet.com/rotis-rum-punch-and-the-colours-of-belmont-walkway/
Before the Island Woke
A clean salt breeze after two days of sargassum, a Mockingbird on the stone grill arch, and a single flower on an otherwise bare trumpet tree — a Bequia morning.
Sargassum Ruined the Morning at Jamdown
A Mangrove Cuckoo heard from the garden gate, Laughing Gulls working the sargassum below, and the morning I learned that Belmont Road smells like the inside of a volcano.https://islandinthenet.com/sargassum-a-mangrove-cuckoo-and-a-morning-at-jamdown/
Arriving in Bequia
A ferry crossing, a stranger who turned out to be family, roads with no signs, and a terrace above the sea — the first day in Bequia was a long one.
