Martinique,jewel of the Carribean,department of
France.It took us just over 3 hours to cover the 27nm to Grande Anse D´Arlet
with boat speed çver 8knt in a blustery F5 from the east.
To my surprise the yacht friendly French have
installed 60 new moorings and they are free.We tied up to one and after lunch
went ashore to explore ,a pleasant walk though the woods and then clear in at
the cafe L´Petit Bateau.
The water is crystal clear and turquise to the
botttom.We can watch the fish from the stern.
We will explore Martinique this week and some
neccessary shopping will be done before returning to St Lucia at the weekend to
refit the genset-
