A rainy day in St. Vincent

St. Vincent is an island that we had not visited before....and we can say that we really haven't visited it yet. We awoke to the ship just arriving in port and saw that it was raining...really pouring! We were hoping to hear from the captain that the forecast would be rain stopping very soon, but that was not the case.

Our plan for the day was a tour with Wayne, called Baleine Tours--a boat ride along the coastline of the island and then a hike into the rainforest to Baleine Falls. After disembarking the ship to meet the tour, we heard the locals say that the forecast was rain all day. We could barely see the hills as the rain clouds were so low. So, we decided to cancel the tour and go back on board. Many passengers did the
same thing. Looked like only the ship's excursions left the port area...cancelling would have meant a refund due. We headed for the covered pool area and secured 2 deck chairs for the remainder of the day.

It did rain all day, except for a brief time around noon where I could get a couple photos from the deck of the ship. Then, the rain started again and it was still raining when we left St. Vincent. A good thing about cruising is that tomorrow we will be in another port and hopefully the rain won't follow.

St. Vincent is one of the Caribbean's least traveled islands....it will still be new to us so guess we'll just have to return some day.

Next port...St. Kitts
