One of the first islands we encountered on our sailing trip after leaving Bequia was the beautiful island of Mustique. This island hosts famous personalities like Tommy Hilfiger, Mick Jagger and many others. Our boat is centered in the painting behind the famous "Basils" bar and restaurant. One can simply leap from your boat and swim up to the shore or arrive in your dingy, and enjoy a cool drink during the heat of the day. The island had a great deal of "carpenter gothic" style architecture and many artifacts brought from Indonesia. I was told by some of the locals that the Indonesians were brought to the island to create many of the points of interest and architectural structures.
