St Laurent finally
Sulayacht

And so the rally ended on the 14th October and participants went on their
separate journeys heading back for Trinidad/Tobago and we were still there along
with Magic Swan when on Saturday 25th October, after a flight to Trinidad,
flight onto Suriname, overnight in Paramaribo, water taxi and Gendarme escort to
the anchorage, Maris joined us on board Quicksilver.
Maris’s river transport. Did I say we were anchored behind the wreck of the Edith Cavell, 1898
– 1924, she was en route from Marseille to Fort de France with general
cargo. After further exploration of St Laurent we took the dinghy on a
trip up the river and into a creek, then visited the Leper Island Papillon wrote
about in his book, didn’t recognise any of it but a nice day if hot.
and following that adventure we took Quicksilver into Crique aux Boeufs
Lamentins (Creek of the Manatee) and circled the 15 miles exiting at Crique
Vaches, heard lots of birds saw butterflies but no Manatee
...
After a final visit to a woefully inadequate waterfall and a shop at the
supermarket we say goodbye to Fred, Claude and St Laurent and head once again
for Guyana.
