RAINY FORT DE FRANCE

Know you have all been waiting for it, but it rained all day
today! Well, off and on. We took a ferry to Fort de France
and hit their Bank Holiday - Mardi Gras seems to consist of lots of celebrations
and the write-ups we have seen for FdeF promised a lot more than was really on
view. Our sailing reference guide is also severely out of date (well, two
years) and as we trudged the two miles to the customs at the docks, we
discovered that we could not check out there any more, but could do back at
Trois Islets (possibly once the Mardi Gras celebrations are over), meanwhile
battening down the hatches for another squall!
