I was just working on a collection of the GB 1937 Coronation Issue and spotted some of the British islands that do not have dockage for cruise ships and am sure most of the islanders are happy for that. After taking many cruises around the Caribbean my wife and I finally were able to visit the tiny island of Nevis while docked in St. Vincent. The distance is only 7 miles and it takes about 30 minutes, or so, to make the trip. Not much there to do for visitors, especially with time constraints of returning to the ship for departure to the next island, but we enjoyed the dock area and a nice lunch. Anyway, after noticing all of those other islands and seeing some listed in the St. Vincent listings, like Mustique, etc., I wondered if anyone was collecting any of those countries stamps. Very few are listed on Ebay for any of those smaller islands and none posted on Hipstamps.

My wife and I stayed at the resort on Petit St. Vincent around 20 years ago. Fantastic!

John,
Yes, St. Vincent is beautiful, as most of the British Islands are and most are very friendly, especially to the tourist trade.

Good morning all,
