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!
