Happy Island, Union<\/p><\/div>\n

Not really…<\/p>\n

I’ve just been selling that line via text message to my friends (2 at last count but rapidly decreasing), because I don’t want them to think I’m enjoying myself too much…<\/p>\n

Can’t have them getting upset as they sit at their desks furiously shuffling paper to meet their latest deadline. They might get the bright idea of giving it all away by going out to buy a boat and then… horror of horrors,… Happy Island would be crowded with a multitude of ex-paper shufflers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It’s just another white sandy beach in the Grenadines…<\/p><\/div>\n

So let me reassure them that the beaches are just like what they have back home….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

No bikini clad Brazilians… but lots of goats!<\/p><\/div>\n

The only girls I’ve come close to here have beards…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Downtown Union Island, Saint Vincent<\/p><\/div>\n

There’s nothing resembling a decent sized mall downtown…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I’ve been plane spotting!<\/p><\/div>\n

Flights to the island are \u201cat your own risk\u201d (If you don’t believe me read the warnings at the airport)…<\/p>\n

and while I’m at it, I might as well spread a rumor that there’s no more anchorage space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It’s a dogs life…<\/p><\/div>\n

In fact there’s absolutely nothing to do in Union…<\/p>\n

So as soon as I’ve finished my next rum punch (at Happy Island), and watched yet another monotonous sunset (yawn), I’ll make plans for sailing further north…<\/p>\n
