Our landfall in the Caribbean was on the island of St Martin. This is a small island shared between France and

The Netherlands.  We checked in on the French side of the island at the delightful town of Marigot.
 

 

The local fresh food markets were a wonderful sight after our time at sea.   We are really enjoying the

 inexpensive and plentiful lobsters!

 

 

 

 

 

We entered the lagoon through the French Bridge. Once inside the lagoon you can move freely

between both sides of the island with no need to show passports.



Lagoonies was the cruisers gathering spot for sundowners and internet connection.

 

Another gathering spot was at the yaght club near the Dutch Bridge. This is
the wider bridge and the mega yacht squeezed through the bribge at opening
time to the cheers of the crowds that stood by to watch.

 

 

The fishing party got a cheer too.

We toured the island by car to view the coast.

Don't know how Dubbo made it on to this signpost....14,583 miles!

 

 

We enjoyed an evening in Grand Case where the roads were closed and there
was a Mardi parade.
