Thanks for the enjoyable review of all things Bequia, chilly.
Sounds like you had a great time.

A few friends had the opportunity a few years back (one that I had to miss
due to prior obligations, regretfully) to bareback a 50' sloop through that
area (St. Vincent & The Grenadines). They also thoroughly enjoyed the
island. I'm hoping to make it there for some sailing and diving in the next
few years, so I'll archive your excellent post for future reference.

The wife and I are in the process of gearing up for a dive trip to Saba next
month. I've read (and heard) good reports of both the diving and topside
ambience, so I'm very much looking forward to the trip. I'll try and post a
report upon return.

Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words. I'll be looking forward to your trip report when
you get back from Saba, as that destination is still high on my list.
Though I do have to admit, I'm not in any real hurry to visit another island
where I'll need to be a mountain goat again. hee hee

Thanks for the report, Al.

Interestingly, when I was doing my 'due diligence' on Saba a while back, I
used the Google Groups archives and came across your post.
Found it to be an excellent source of first-hand info.

In fact, I'll be using Sea Saba, and booked the 'Iris House' through them.
I've been very impressed with their level of service so far, and have every
reason to believe that will carry through to their dive op.

I am somewhat concerned about the efficiency-or reputed lack thereof- of
Winair. They seem to be the potential wild card in our otherwise
well-laid-out plans.

That said, I'm looking forward to the plane ride. Hopefully, the diving will
be just as exciting...<g>
