St Vincent, Bequia, Grenada all three come to mind. We did get 
"accousted" in St Vincent, and it concerned me for a bit. But when I 
finally figured out that the guy that kept offering to show us how to 
get around was only doing it hoping for a bottle of rum, I calmed down. 
That was the only time I can even remember a bit of concern on any of 
the trips.
