... dramatic this way. Coming into Trinidad, Quest decided to give us another reason to dig deep into our pockets by popping a shroud. The shrouds are thick multi-stranded wires that hold the mast up. Don't want them giving way. We hired a rigger to look at everything and it was decided that we needed to have two replaced. This wasn't entirely surprising and the thorough inspection of the entire rig was definitely needed before we head out into any more oceans. The ...

... and so equally confused were our Canadian friends on Seamist. After a brief consultation by yelling across the water to each other, we agreed we did have the date right but had no idea what was going on............. The next day we walked through town and asked some people what was going on, celebrating New Years Eve the night before? They looked at us as if we were strange and simply said that they do it the night before so that everyone can have their ...

... 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.

... find an ATM machine in Illes de Sainte. He tried everything and finally resorted (successfully) to charades. How much easier it would have been with this book: "ou y a-t-il un distributeur?" (oo yah teel uhn deess-tree-bew-turh?) "Where is there an ATM?" Another fun aspect of cruising life at anchor is what I call "gopher boats". It is fun to watch other boats around us whenever the sound of an engine or anchor chain dropping is ...

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.]

... two waterfront parks. I completed our paperwork as we drank our first local beer, Lorraine and Al fired up our computer to check our email. Now that's they way it should always be! St. Pierre is a lovely small town at the base of Mt. Pelee. The town was buried in ash and lava in 1902 when Pelee erupted. You can see some of the ruins amidst the reconstruction. Al and I hiked to the Depaz Rhum distillery in the heat of the day, a trek that would be far more agreeable in the early ...

... Later, two evenings later. I attended a native music festival. I was the only caucasian that attended. I was visible for miles around. A fancy mix of reggea and modern rythms. After a feasty night, I drove south to St. Anne and rented a cottage for the remains of my stay at Martinique. Suddenly I had to go to FdF and my flight back to europe. A nice vacation, after all.
