A short afternoon sail from Marigot Bay down
the St Lucia coast and we stopped outside the town of Soufriere at an anchorage
called the ‘Bat Cave’ right under the famous ‘Pitons’ mountains. Our boat was
very, very close to the cliff and right under the cave where hundreds of bats
appeared at dusk. The views of the Pitons were dramatic. Lynn did some
snorkelling and Oliver, Wendy and Chris all had a dip in the crystal clear sea
before the evening meal. We plan to leave early tomorrow for our first
significant sail from here to Bequia in St Vincent and the Grenadines. As that
is a different country we had cleared customs and immigration at lunchtime
before leaving Marigot Bay, as we have 24 hours to leave St Lucia after clearing
out. |
