Setting a course for St.Vincent

Exploring the east coast of St.Lucia

Our guide Melvin walked us around 3 consecutive bays in Mamiku about a 5 mile hike. We explored the mangroves, stone beaches and grassland leading up to the wind blasted coast. Melvin is a botanist so the hike was educational as well as he pointed out and decribed in great detail a great variaty of various plants that grow in and along the coast and on the Island.
