Big dilemma, Dennis! However, having celebrated 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, & 80th (oh! wait a minute . . . I'm getting ahead of myself!) birthdays on SBH, I think the right answer is to do both! Mustique would be wonderful, I'm sure . . . though, I suspect, a bit "vanilla" compared to SBH. Even if it's not on THE birthday, I recommend planning time on St. Barths in celebration of this very special birthday. Meanwhile, I suspect that many of us would look forward to a report on Mustique (after all, if it was good enough for Princess Margaret and is a home to Mick Jagger, it must be very nice).
Years ago on a Windstar cruise, we sailed on a 45' sailboat from Bequia over to Mustique for lunch @ Basil's followed by a taxi/truck tour of the island to see beach & Cotton House, then it was lovely, but hard to get to Mustique. Remote !

You didn’t ask about it but you might consider the Queens Garden Resort in Saba. They are located in a great place offering wonderful views, a highly reviewed spa and a french restaurant on site. There is a rainforest and the island apparently offers good skin diving. Friends went recently and loved it saying it reminds them of the St. Barthelemy of old.
Who am I to cause problems, right?
We went to Young Island years ago and found it very confining. Luckily we were able to get on a sailaway and visit some of the other islands in the Grenadines. Saved the vacation, however none of them compare to St. Barts. Mustigue was one of the stops and Basils was fun, but far from what St. Barts offers. Go to Lisbon and visit the towns along the coast, or Italy.
Hawke, happy to see this. And visits from Dennis and Lisa too-I am tingling.
Excuse me- 60 isn’t old if you know what I’m saying.Why thank you old boy! Also in the best possible way.
