Title: NEW SAILOR CROSSES THE ATLANTIC CHANNEL

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

From St Lucia to Martinique and back again. The weather crossing North was
very swelly and on the nose, Viv and Denis survived it well. The short stay
in Marin and Saint Anne was very pleasant and we had some squally showers on
the way back.
We're now in Marigot and returning to Rodney Bay tonight for some more
repair work!
