The Friendship Rose on Bequia is a 100 foot schooner that offers sailing trips throughout the Grenadines. We HIGHLY recommend these trips. The boat and crew were first class. These trips combine a fun sailing experience along with snorkeling and island activities. |

We took the sailing/snorkeling trip to the Tobago Cays. This was an enjoyable all day sail. When we boarded in Port Elizabeth, we were greeted with a nice glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. |
|
 Once we cleared the bay, we raised the sails. They allowed us "guests" to participate in the fun. (Let me tell you from first hand experience that those sails are heavy!) |

| We sailed from Bequia to the Tobago Cays. Along the way we passed Mustique and Canouan Islands. | |

 |
| We arrived at the Tobago Cays by mid-morning. The Friendship Rose anchored just offshore of one of the tiny islands. | |
| When you arrive at the Tobago Cays you have the option of going ashore to the tiny deserted island. We took our snorkel gear and spent an hour or so on the island. The water is pretty rough the day we were there, but the scenery was beautiful. |
 |
 The lunch on the Friendship Rose was delicious. During lunch everyone was served a glass (or two) of wine which I thought was a really nice touch. After lunch they took us out to the reef for some more snorkeling. The snorkeling out there was much better. Overall the snorkeling was slightly above average. |

| The sail home was very relaxing. The boat holds around 50 people and we had about 30 on board. We had plenty of room to store our gear and enjoy various locations within the schooner. | |

| Alan and Meg are the owners of the Friendship Rose, (Alan is pictured above), and they have done a fabulous job. If you are in Bequia or St. Vincent, take one of their cruises and tell them that Dave and Carroll from SunnyTripReports say Hi! | |
