It must be France, and it's shut!!!
Up at 0600, anchor up and oy vey at 0630. Arrive at St Pierre after a pleasant sail & motor at 1105. Ashore to clear customs prior to an early start tomorrow for Dominica, BUT WAIT. The customs computer is in a cyber cafe. The cyber cafe has been sporadically open during 'La Greve [the strike], so to make up for lost business (there are quite a few people in St Pierre, enjoying SOME cafes) the cyber cafe is SHUT, because it's Monday and they close on Mondays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They open tomorrow at 0915 (yeah, right!), so should be away by 1000 (oh yeah?) for a 36nm trip, so should be in Rouseau by 1700 instead of the 1400 I had planned.
Below, the sad remains of the cat that was washed up onto the beach during the heavy northerly swells.
