Each one is a painting by a local artist reproduced on a shirt. Quality is the only authorized vendor selling the Carriacou Fidel Productions art t-shirts. Jude has a good water taxi called Bitterz. Willie, in Free Willie, is among the helpful vendors and does tasty beach barbecues, as do Captain Kojak and Romeo. They offer great beach barbecues and water taxis to places like Baradel. If you want to be left alone, they will do that, too. They are a friendly bunch and very obliging if you need them to bring you ice or bread the next day. Local boat vendors ply the Cays during the season, selling everything from ice, bread, and lobsters to jewelry. There are strong currents in the cut anchorage, so using a mooring is recommended. Do not anchor between the moorings and the turtle-watching area. They mainly surround the turtle-watching area. Moorings are available in the Cays for $45 EC a night, but are neither compulsory nor always reliable, so check. Shallow-draft yachts can anchor to the east of Baradel. You can anchor just west of Petit Rameau, in the cut between Petit Rameau and Petit Bateau, to the north or south of Baradel, or between Baradel and the other islands. Don’t cut corners, lest you land on a coral head. Petit Rameau and Petit Bateau look like one island for most of the approach. Black-and-white day markers help you get the approach right. The best approach is between Mayreau and Baleine Rocks, staying south of One Fathom Bank. The anchorage is, however, open to the full force of the ocean winds, which are sometimes strong. Even squalls can be dramatically beautiful as they approach from afar. On cloudless nights the stars are cast across the sky like wedding confetti thrown in an excessive gesture of bonhomie. Small beaches of white sand blend into luminous, clear water. The water and reef colors are a kaleidoscope of gold, brown, blue, turquoise, and green. The Tobago Cays are a group of small, uninhabited islands protected from the sea by Horseshoe Reef.
