We are really enoying St Lucia , it really is a
fabulous place , on Sunday we gave ourselves a day off ... we took the dingy
over to Pigeon island and on the way we came across our very first Turtle sice
we have been here , we had a lovely day swimmimg and had a delicious picnic on
the beach . there is a lovely rustic thatched restaurant there and we learned
that there was a jazz band playing that evening so we went back to the boat
showered and returned for dinner , another boat Morgan Le Fay arrived as well so
we all had a very pleasant evening together , but the band was
awful!!!
Mark has been busy working out a way of lifting the
dingy onto the davits where it will be safe and we won,t have a problem like
last time , he has come up with great solution so we need not worry about it
while we are travelling .
We heard some facinating facts about St Lucia ,
there is a small town not very far away call Anse Le Rey and they still believe
in voodoo and obeah , the main man is the Snake Man who has a liscence to kill
boa constrictors who are very prevelent in the rainforest and extract the poison
and render the fat down to make into potions to cure all ills , apparently if
you ask for directions to his shack he is more than happy to diagnose any
illness and cure you for a small fee !! this is so tempting just for the
expecience...dare I ?......
We are now moving out of the marina and going on
Anchor tonight and then tomorrow we are off to Martinique which is only 24
miles away , so just a short sail away , but the weather has been a bit
unsettled in the last few days and very very windy , so the weekend looks better
for sailing, Marinique here we come.....
 The end of a lovely day on Pigeon Island . |
