Congratulations to crew of Serendipity.

Fond memories of arriving at Pt St Charles 3 years ago. That first rum punch tastes nice.

The national dish of Barbados. Love the way they put fried ones on the bar instead of peanuts to make you thirsty.

Small squid catch themselves too but stick amazingly firmly to decks.

Mmmmm. Fish cutter. ?

And there is a most excellent fish cutter emporium situated almost on the beach, less than 10 minutes walk from Port St Charles, heading south towards Speightstown.
It is called Caboose, and the fish are cooked inside a tiny traditional Bajan fishing boat (on the shore) that has been re-purposed into a fish galley.
More info about Caboose here - a fish cutter and a Banks beer is a good combination and it fills me up nicely, for a total cost of US$10.

Speightstown seems to be on the up. It was a little run down when I visited there in ’94 (on the bus). Back then IIRC one had to get permission to sail up the west coast - so everyone stayed put in Carlisle Bay (which was nice anyway).

I recommend getting on the local island bus and visit Harrison’s cave over in the East. The bus trips are great fun.

We’ll visit that, my wife and I will be in speightstown in middle of next month, it looks good.

How long will you be visiting Barbados for? Will you be actually staying in Speightstown?

 

[steve yates]

We’ll be in speightstown for about 4 days, down at rockley beach for about 3 days either side of that.
