We started talking islands--Les Saintes, Vieques, Virgin Gorda, Tortola, and so on. Many were great to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. "Bequia," he said, finally. "That's the island for you. It's Saint Barts 30 years ago. Next vacation, I visited Bequia and found he was right. I loved its hilly beauty and easy barefoot lifestyle, with enough yachties to keep some good restaurants and provisioners in business. Most of all, I enjoyed how the locals, expats and tourists all socialized together--notably at the Frangi Thursday nights. We began visiting each Christmas and summer vacation. Eventually, I bought a small piece of land. Then two years ago, I married an American who is developing land in Bequia and now liver there six months a year. Every morning, I wake up and say, "Another beautiful day in Bequia!" I learned about Bequia from a charter pilot based in Saint Barts.
