We decided to stay in Les Trois Islets for another day - well, we probably could not check out anywhere yesterday anyway, true Mardi Gras here - and it all started with one of those boat races.  These guys weren't as professional as the last lot, though Sandra do note that EDF were one of the logo'd sails on one of the pics.

 

St Pierre today, with one watermaker pipe fixed and another leaking.  The list of jobs done and to be done both grow with alarming regularity.  The weather seems calmer today, so hopefully we will have a good sail north and come to rest at anchor outside one of the more picturesque places on the island.  St Pierre was the capital of Martinique until it got hit by the mudslide from a volcanic eruption.
