BLUE LAGOON, SPINY LOBSTERS & 225 STEPS IN ST VINCENT

On our sail to St Vincent, we anchored for the night at Petit Byahaut, a secluded spot not even accessible by road with great snorkeling along the north side of this small bay.
Next day, we sailed to the Blue Lagoon and took a dock for a couple nights so we could wash the boat in preparation for our guests. The marina had everything you would need. Dock, fuel, water, electric, laundry service, gardens, pool with lounge areas, car rental, taxi and restaurants. You can walk into nearby village for provisions. bluelagoon.com
While at the dock, of course, Stephen made friends with the local fishermen and scored us some spiny lobsters!
After Blue Lagoon, we took a mooring ball at Young Island, a private island resort with 13 acres of tropical gardens and 29 airy cottages to choose from (translation: no air conditioning!) youngisland.com/
Fort Duvernette
The French built this fort on top of a large volcanic rock near Young island, to defend the town of Calliaqua. We climbed the 225 steps that were carved into the rock to get 360-degree views of the shoreline. What we can’t quite figure out is how they got all of the cannons to the top! Give us your educated guess in the comments.

We got the best out of St. Vincent for the short time we spent there. Blue Lagoon was great for getting a sorely needed boat wash, fuel and some good meals in the restaurant.

Nice video, love the content! Climbing up to that fort looks scary

You don’t know anything about st Vincent plus these boats you are talking about it’s tour boats blue Lagoon is private plus you don’t have a proper anchor

Don’t really understand your comment. We paid for a slip at the marina.
