After the most amazing few days spent mostly in the water at Tobago Cays it was time to head across the Mayreau, an island about 45 minutes sail away.
Mayreau is the smallest inhabited island of the Grenadines, with an area of about 0.46 sq. miles and a population of about 271.The population is centered in an unnamed village, located on Station Hill, a hilltop in the south-west of the island. It is an isolated community, accessible only by boat. Electricity was only recently (2002) provided by a central generator located on Saline Bay. There is a single-lane concrete road leading from the wharf on Saline Bay through the village to Saltwhistle Bay. The top of the island is crested with the small elementary school; the telecommunications building; the brick and stone Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, christened on May 12, 1930, and a Pentecostal church. From the crest of the hill behind the Catholic Church, there is an overlook of the Tobago Cays, Canouan and Union Island.
We set our anchor in Saline Bay and rested for the first time in days 😆. Mayreau is so tiny that we walked the entire length of it, in a couple of hours. We explored about 80% of its circumference and its really beautiful. From the stunningly beautiful bays, to the view across to Tobago Cays from the islands high point behind a quaint beautiful church, we had a great few days exploring before heading back to Union Island to catch up with fellow cruisers again.
