Le Marin to Fort de France,
Martinique
![]() We up anchored at ten
thirty on a beautiful morning
![]() The locals
went screaming past us, bailing out water as they went
![]() A quick wave to us, a change of tack and off they scooted
![]() ![]() We have always sailed past Diamond Rock, today we actually
went in between it and the coast
![]() The weather
closing in, made for some interesting wind and current
![]() Fort de France
with rain, rain and yet more rain
![]() Across the
bay
![]() By the time we looked back the rain was really falling on the city
![]() Nimue faithfully
behind with a chum.
![]() ![]() To our right looking toward Tros
Islet - pretty clear
![]() Safely to anchor under
the fort as usual at three, twenty two very wet miles
later
![]() A little weather
window to enjoy the sights - before even more rain
ALL IN ALL HAPPY
BUT SOGGY
AT LEAST IT'S
WARM
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BROLLY LOOK SO SCARY
BEAR HAS - RUN BEAR - RUN
