Bequia Sea Salt 101: Jerry Simpson's Patented Solar Evaporation Stills

In addition to the pristine seawater surrounding the island of Bequia, our finishing salt is remarkably pure and flavorful due to the innovative, patent pending stills designed by our owner, Jerry Simpson. The unique design of the stills isn based on a 1986 memoir Jerry read as a young man entitled Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea about the author’s survival on a life raft in the Atlantic Ocean.
