SSL departed with David, Terri, Oscar and Plilippa
as crew from Rodney Bay at 0700, we set the main with one reef and a full
foresail for the passage to Fort de France, Martinique. The wind was still
blowing a good fresh Easterly at 20 knots and we made a quick broad
reaching passage. We anchored close under the lee of the fort,but there was
a considerable ground swell, which made getting ashore in Mike's Avon a bit
tricky. However after two trips we made it - spent some euros on a meal looked
round the town and made our way back to SSL. The plan is to leave at 0700 for
Dominica.
