The Titons, southwest coast of St. Lucia
|
On 11/23, we left Wallilabou, St. Vincent and traveled past St. Lucia only stopping in Rodney Bay for the night where we heard the loudest amplified music ever. Along the way, Dave caught a mahi mahi as did Bruce on
Celtic Rover, right about the same time as each other. Maybe it was a school.

| Thank you, Mahi Mahi! |
We then had another fantastic sail on 11/24 where we met our friends, Darrell and Ann and Roxy, the wonder dog, on
Alibi in Sainte Anne, Martinique We've enjoyed the small town of Ste.
Anne the past few days. It is within a two-mile dinghy ride to Le Marin, the
largest boating center on Martinique where we were able to buy a few things for the boat and get water...for one Euro cent a liter -- the best bargain yet!

| Sunday evening in Sainte Anne |
On Sunday, we walked
around the town in the late afternoon and early eve. In the town square, a
local raggae fusion band and then a cool jazz band performed, all before the
backdrop of the church built in 1824. Yesterday morning, Ann and I took Roxy
for a walk up the path behind the church that depicts the fourteen stations of
the cross as it zig zags up the hill to a small shrine. Ann and I practiced our French translating the
descriptions at each station. As we climbed, the view of the bay was
stunning. (I forgot my camera, but will beg a photo from Ann.) It's nice to be in a French department again. People have been
friendly and the cheese...Ooh la la!
In a bit, we will leave Ste. Anne for St. Pierre in the north. Tomorrow we plan to check out of Martinique there, enjoy the village, then leave sometime after midnight to arrive in Iles des Saintes off the south end of Guadalupe. Au revoir!
