Sunday of festivities

The Carriacou Regatta Festival is not only an occasion to entertain the bored cruisers during the hurricane season but it is also (and mainly) a regatta for the local boats. They come from all around the Grenadines (Tobago to Bequia) and compete during a few days. We saw them in Tobago and Bequia. It was logical to be in Carriacou for such festivities.

Everybody is in the street, with a HUGE smile. There is loud music, barbecue and lots and lots of people. The streets outside Hillborough were empty and very quiet. The full island was meeting on the beach to cheer their favorite boat. It was logical for us to join the party!
