... us a decent price for repair and date of delivery and then actually charged us that price (to the penny) and finished on time. The other bad news about Martinique is that while we were waiting for the repair to be done, the entire island went on strike. More good news is that we went shopping and had an island tour before everything closed down. The worst bad news is that I didn't get nearly enough cheese and wine to last very long. We fortunately booked a ...

... inflatable toy 'Silent Chaos' out for a zoom behind the dinghy. (We now realise why they call it silent chaos.....because you can't hear Shaz screaming as she tries to hold on over the noise of a 2 stroke, 15hp outboard at full throttle!) The boys were very entertained by mum on the silent chaos. Sorry there's no photos, Shaz does the photos and they were deleted before anyone could see them. Well, after a restful night and lazy morning we sailed on up to the ...

... markets and have lunch local style. Most offering are the same as on other islands just with the name changed. I managed to buy a few Christmassy things in Europe (pudding, custard, chocolates) not knowing what would be available in the shops here on the islands. Lucky as there wasn't much to choose from and the prices were pretty frightening but thanks to those Kiwis and their sheep we were able to secure a leg of lamb ($70 AUD) for our Christmas dinner. The weather here ...

We went to this beautiful beach less than five minutes from our hotel room. It was super amazing, the fish actually we by my feet. Christina screamed like a baby, she freaks out at the site of live fish. She yelled at Nemo and flounder. Reduit Beach, St, Lucia's acclaimed best beach.

... had no roll and enjoyed our brief stay. The second day we puddle hopped once more and anchored in St. Pierre, once the economic capital of Martinique. St. Pierre has the distinction of being the home of Mt. Pelee, which last erupted in 1902, and within three minutes, killed 30,000 people. The one person in St. Pierre to have survived was a fellow who was in the prison. The rock walls of his cell kept him alive until he was ...

16/04/08, Wednesday, 18:00, St. Pierre, Martinique Had a nice sail up here today - the wind and current were with us. Mountains here are great. Virgin Mary statue overlooking the town. Watched a pod of dolphins play in clear water on our bow. They were so close, I could hear them breathe when they surfaced.

15/04/08, Tuesday, 22:30, Rodney Bay Dinner and pool was great two nights ago. Had two great days after that hanging out at Scuttlebutts. Met crazy Norwegian guy there today. [No, seriously, this guy was nuts. He and his friends decided to quit their jobs, buy a boat, and sail around the world. One of them had been sailing before - they made him captain. My kind of people.]

... the pineapple plantation on which Pirates of the Caribbean II and III were filmed (the original was filmed on St. Vincent). We stopped in Calibishe to place our lunch order at a local restaurant and continued south to the Red Rocks, massive red lava rocks which plunge into the Atlantic. Birds have nested in crevices of these rocks under overhangs. It is a sharp contrast to the rainforests and lush mountain farms we had driven through. After lunch we took the long, steep hike down ...

Back on Martinique. Hired a car. Drove round the island. Stayed for a few days at a banana plantation. Went all over to the old capital, under the vulcano. Visited churches, beaches and museums. I swam in huge waves and saw fish dancing in the sea. Then the waves turned on me and chrashed me into the sandbed. Scratched and bleeding I saw the rest of the day from the ...
