Image
Where do I even start. My 2nd trip to Sandy Island was by far amazing than the first, enjoy reading my experience, I do hope you can experience this as well. Read about my 1st trip here : http://coconut3z.blogspot.com/2016/10/sandy-island-pt-1.html As usual, I woke at 7 am preparing myself for the trip, arriving on the jetty in Sauteurs at 9 am sharp. Food items were bought, including drinks and other essentials for our trip. On my 1st trip, we had used a small speed boat ( a small fishing boat with a powerful engine- West Indian term ), but on this trip ( Talk about upgrade) we went  with a slightly bigger fishing boat (Pleasure boat). This was good because the sea was sort of choppy that morning. To by pass the feeling of being sea sick, we gave jokes (silly stuff) on our way up. Finally touch down on Sandy Island, we cleared all items off both boats; then food preparation started. Some of the guys decided to go spear fishing/ free diving just off from the island; for ...

A trip to the beach was what my soul needed, call it detox if you may.

Le Morne de Sauteurs -Leapers Hill

Image
                                                  Leapers Hill or "Le Morne de Sauteurs" was named by the French while they inhabited our island. Hostility between the Caribs and French broke out and rather they surrender, the surviving Caribs leap to their death.  This area is now a Tourist attraction, a cemetery also to locals living in the Parish of St. Patrick; beautiful species or varieties of flowers or plants can be seen around the surroundings.  Walking toward the monument, looking out, one can see (slightly) Carriacou and other neighboring islands (not inhabited). Carriacou in the distant Wooden benches, Cool sea breeze and a Breathe taking view, nothing can beat this. So take a trip and enjoy this island natural beauty and history.  Did you know this? More on the history of Leapers ...
