Pinney's Beach, off which we were anchored during our stay in Nevis. The water was beautiful and clear, ideal for swimming in during the day. The beach was enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, except where two hotels staked their claim to its charms.
On Charlestown's main street old and new mix as traffic flows between businesses housed in older two-storey buildings. They give the feeling of a town which has embraced things more modern without losing its links to its past.
U2Fast was one of the local fishing boats; others had names like Easy Does It and I Am Light. The boats may have been a traditional design, but they were powered by outboards, often in pairs, and moved briskly through the anchored boats morning and evening on the way to and from town.
Looking down from Golden Rock toward the ocean - we came past this coast on our way from Antigua.
In Nevis we visited Golden Rock, a suggestion from fellow cruisers. It is on a former plantation in the coolness of the hills. Various of the old buildings are now converted to other uses - restaurant, guest quarters - and is a pleasant place to visit.
Mount Nevis, with the cloud that almost always hovers over it and Cherub, Paul Johnson's boat, in the foreground.
