This must be within a few metres of where we were
last time in Trois Islets. We left Dominica bright and early (0620!!) and had a
fairly 'brisk' sail down towards Martinique. Just off the north coast another
British boat thought he saw a mast on the rocks, so we got involved in relaying
to Fort de France MRCC, but luckily it turned out to be a crane!
Anyway, we stuck our noses into St Pierre, but
there was a 25kt wind and associated swell there so decided to continue to Trois
Islets. As we entered the Rade de Fort de France, the MRCC started reporting a
dismasted yacht in the St Lucia Channel. Didn't get involved with that
one!
Anyway, here for a couple of days until the forcast
northerly swell either materialises and disappears or doesn't appear at all. If
it's calm tomorrow, I'll dingy in then take the ferry to clear in at Fort de
France, if not I'll clear in at marin on Monday
Hoping to meet up with Tiger Frightener on
wednesday in Rodney Bay, then down to Bequia.
