Extractions: Testimonials from our Divers: Article and photos by Josh Shafran. His spouse is, travel consultant, Holly Shafran. When he is not traveling, Josh teaches English at Boulder High School. Write a list of what a perfect island vacation should be; small islands, beautiful calm seas, few people, absolute privacy, a wide expansive white coral sand beach lined with coconut trees, a flowering jungle environment, and a secluded cottage. Holly and I found such paradise - the Grenadine Islands. They are pristine with names like Mystique, Mayreau, Tobacco Cays, Petit Martinique and Petit Tobac, Palm and Petit Saint Vincent. The waters are as perfect as the land. We visited two such places, each as unique as the other. The first, Petit Saint Vincent Island Resort (PSV), is a private 155 acre oasis, meticulously created by Hays and Lynn Richardson. The resort is the island and the island is the resort! A private PSV boat took us there. Upon landing we were greeted by Hays Richardson and then quickly taken to our cottage on the other side of the island. This resort is so private and exclusive that we could have stayed in our cottage area for the week. Our compound was wonderful; a coral stone cottage, mahogany decks, a walkway to a private beach, hammock, lounge chairs, dining and living room, bedroom, huge bath and a coral stone walk in shower. The trade breezes are constantly refreshing on this side of the island, so the only added room comfort comes from the ceiling fans. The cottage is equipped with a compact sound system that plays both CD's and cassette tapes too. The waters at our beach front were azure turquoise, and calm since this side of the island is surrounded by a natural coral formation forming a quiet lagoon area to snorkel, swim and relax in the gentle 82 degree water.

Extractions: Majestic Scenery Excellent Activities Awesome and Incredible The Windward Islands are comprised of four major islands and numerous smaller ones called Cays (pronounced keys). Martinique, furthest north, is still part of France while the others are independent nations with a British tradition. The Grenadines consist of several small islands between St. Vincent and Grenada; some with high hills, others no more than a reef-enclosed sand cay sprouting a few palms. They all have perfect white pristine beaches, crystal clear water, and colorful reefs - like a tropical fantasy. St. Vincent, the most northern island we will visit, is an island of towering mountains, craggy peaks, and dramatic precipices dressed in a tangle of dense green forests. The Windwards almost always have good sailing weather in November. Executive Summary Highlights Passports are required and visas are not for Americans and most other nationals.
Extractions: WOM/934 Experts Criticize Report for Failure to Address Effect of Current Crisis on Zairian Women; Delegation Says Most of Country Is Living in Peace Adultery was still an offence in Zaire for which women were more severely punished than men, the country's representative said this afternoon in a special oral presentation to the Committee which monitors the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Because of the ongoing crisis in Zaire, the country was permitted to report on an exceptional basis and the presentation of its initial report will be rescheduled. Zairian women must also obtain the husband's approval to enter into any legal agreement or hold a job and men were the legal head of the household and controlled common property, the country's representative told the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. Traditional attitudes still presented barriers to women in the workplace and women suffered from a lack of education and health care. Infant and maternal mortality rates were extremely high. Customs and religious habits interfered with family planning and imposed the view that "children are the gift of god".
Extractions: Imagine....bright sunshine, beautiful clear skies, sea colors with incredible contrasts of green and blue, perfect temperatures all year round. St. Vincent: Bequia: This island lies 14km (9 miles) south of St Vincent and is the largest of the Grenadines, measuring 18 sq km (7 sq miles). Little changed by time, it is an island on which life is completely oriented to the sea. Its seclusion has ensured it retained its age-old traditions of boat building and fishing. The islanders themselves are the world's last hand-harpooners and their activities do not affect marine stocks, unlike the mechanized fishing of some fleets. The centre of the island is hilly and forested, providing an incredible backdrop to the bays and beaches. Admiralty Bay, the island's natural harbour, is a favourite anchoring spot for yachtsmen from all over the world, and here visitors can watch men building their boats by hand on the shores. The attractive region around Lower Bay offers great opportunities for swimming and other water sports. The quaint waterfront of Port Elizabeth is lined with bars, restaurants and craft shops. Bequia is encircled by gold-sand beaches, many of which disappear into coves, excellent for sailing, scuba diving and snorkeling. Lodgings vary from luxurious resort cottages to small, simple West Indian inns. Much of the nightlife centres on the hotels and beachside barbecues, invariably accompanied by a steel band.

Extractions: en masse The poverty of the east coast is a different world from the exclusive millionaire lifestyles to be found in the paradisical Grenadines, an arc of coral islands stretching to the south of St Vincent. In Bequia, Mayreau and Mustique the jet set relaxes on privately-owned islands or hires luxury yachts complete with local crews. Princess Margaret and Mick Jagger are two of the better-known regulars in Mustique, a six-square-mile tropical hideaway on which locals were until recently forbidden to give birth or be buried. James Ferguson AT A GLANCE Tourism earns about $60 million annually, approximately half the value of exports. People Health : Infant mortality 19 per 1,000 live births (US 8 per 1,000). St Vincent has a network of rural clinics and has done much to reduce infectious diseases, although facilities are mostly based in Kingstown. Culture
