Sea Kitten (Chelsea, Sea Cat’s daughter) has said she’ll arrange a cab for Scott and Carol so after breakfast I take them into the pier after we say our fond farewells. It has been a great 9 days but time for them to move on to Portsmouth and a cabin they have there. Time for…

I said I wanted to depart by 6:00 am, but we don’t get away until 6:30 am. That is OK for me. Still, next to no wind until we are well out from Martinique. Looks like some interesting anchorages at the north end, though not…

We’re up early as usual, the weather has been perfect, we continually remind Scott and Carol this is not normal. In fact, St. Pierre looks a little exposed but we have enjoyed very calm anchoring conditions. In the morning we dinghy across to the pier. First thing is to check out at Customs. It’s E$5…

We’re up early – another beautiful day – and make the long dinghy ride into town as everyone wants to hit the Saturday morning market. I walk around as the girls shop, try to find a pharmacy to get some aspirin. My neck and shoulder are killing me, especially at night and I need a…

We’re up early as usual. I go over the boat to make sure she’s ready to travel. Alternator belt seems to be holding pretty tight with the new lock washer. Soon enough we’re on our way – winds are still light and there is not enough to put up the sails until we’re well away…

We’re up and about as usual. I am always the first up generally, followed by Scott, Carol, then Christy. Breakfast on board then discussions of the days adventures. The winds remain remarkably calm all week. Sleeping is like onshore and we regularly remind Scott and Carol that it is not normally like this. Today we…

Today is departure day from Etang Z’abricot marina. Good thing too as there is a new boat right beside us and it feels like they’re sitting on our lap they’re so close. No rush to get going though we want to be on the road at a reasonable time so we can get a good…

Last day with the car so we head out at a reasonable time. Turns out we bought the wrong coffee pods so on the way we stop back at the mall to return them and buy a bunch more. Off we go for the nice drive, stopping at Le Marin for a look around. Funny,…

We’ve found our 110v coffee maker doesn’t work, we’re going to have to figure something out there, hopefully we can find a 220v machine that uses Keurig pods. We head out towards Presqu’ile – the roads are good, traffic medium but we are going in the opposite direction of traffic generally. We’ve decided to visit…

We’re up pretty early and unpacking and resorting. Lots of stuff to put away and things to do before Scott and Carol arrive at the ferry around 3 pm. Early in the day I get a WhatsApp message from Scott that their ferry was cancelled – they are scrambling to get a flight. They scramble,…
