From Barbados we had a great moonlight sail to
Martinique arriving in a place called Marin which is a big yachting centre. We
spent a couple of days in the marina. What a joy to be able to use as much water
as we liked (having been brushing teeth in half a cup of water in the atlantic)
and clean the boat. Also managed to fill the wine cellar with lots of cheqp
French wine and the fridge with wonderful French cheeses!
We left Marin and spent a night a mere 3 miles away
in Saint Anne, a quaint village on the South coast. Had first BBQ
aboard. Today we arrived in Grand Anse D'Arlet on the West coast. Wonderful
snorkelling. Bought a wonderful hammock which hangs from the mast to the
forestay - just to ensure one stays horizontal !
Martinique must be the closest thing to heaven -
all the lush mountains and coconut fringed beaches combined with French food! We
are extremely concerned that nowhere else will live up to this.
Staying in Martinique to swim, sail, snorkel, eat,
drink - nice French wines - and be merryuntil Thursday 11th when
we go to St Lucia to pick up Patrick and Astrid.
Love to all family and friends XXXXX
Time to sign off and enjoy a rum punch as the
sun sets and paddle ashore for another
creole meal in one if the many wooden shack restaurants ashore.
All love
Kit and Vanessa
