We left Clifton after one night after checking in because it was just too crowded. The first pic above is Clifton from the East. You can see a lot of boats in a small, compact area and you can also see “Happy Island” on the left-hand-side of the shot. Happy Island is an island appearing out in the middle of the ocean (it is really just the end of the reef protecting Clifton) that is about 50 feet in diameter with a bar taking up pretty much all land space – pretty funny.

The second pic is the continuation of the first pic to its right (attempt at a panorama). This area is about 4-5 feet deep, protected from the waves, and completely open to the ocean breezes, so it is a kite-boarders paradise. There were several people kite boarding when we were there, one was even on a foil-board.

All in all, it was an interesting town and the restaurants actually looked enticing, but it was just too busy and too many people hustling.

So this morning we left. We are going to Saline Bay in Mayreau, the next island north of Union Island in the Grenadines. Also, the Tobago Cays are just to the east of Mayreau and are the real crown jewel of the Grenadines as they are a protected marine park with lots to see underwater, so that will be next.

I’m actually sitting in Saline Bay as I write this and it is very nice. More later.
