St. Vincent 3/7/87

Up at 6:30. Breakfast. I had clean up with Gerald and Nancy.

We are off on a boat trip up the edge of the island and up a river to the Baleine Falls. Swim suit on under our clothes. I understand that the boat can't get close to the beach, so we wade ashore. The trip was beautiful. Up the west coast to the north side. Docked waded ashore, off to the fresh water stream out of the mountains. Had a sandwich and drink on the beach.



Here we begin our climb up the narrow ledges, lava rock boulders and across in waist deep water.




It wasn't very for to the falls.When we reached it , it was beautiful. We swam across the clear pool to the falling water, got underneath it and behind it. The boat captain climbed up behind the falls and dove in.


Back to the boat and home. Went to church this evening for an informal good bye. Lots of song, prayer. Anyone who wanted to stand up an say a few words was welcome to do so.

The people here are friendly and very open and full of love and so poor in material things. Lizards and dogs in the church during service.
