We had a sail round to this pretty anchorage on the west coast of
Martinique. On the way we passed a local fisherman collecting his catch from one
of the hundreds of fish traps in the area, we passed Diamond rock which on one
occasion was taken from the British troops by the French after they sent barrels
of Rum to be washed ashore and found by the British soldiers who inevitably
drank it, got drunk and allowed the French to defeat them!
We did some snorkelling which was surprisingly good:
There were also quite a few turtles – Martinique has 3 species – Green,
Hawksbill and Leatherback so far we have seen Green turtles with just one
probable Leatherback sighting at Ste Anne’s! |
