... tour for Monday and waited in anticipation for a wonderful day. It was then that we found out about the strike. The French Caribbean islands of Guadaloupe and Martinique are in fact states of France, much like Hawaii is to the US. The strike was because they were paid Caribbean wages, but charged French mainland prices for everything. Guadaloupe began its strike three weeks earlier and reports were made of many shortages. With Martinique joining in, we hoped ...

... 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 ...

... getting air and burning fuel and basically having a good time..... Boxing Day we went on an island adventure tour in an open top extended Land Rover Defender. This took us up into the hills of St Lucia and down the coast to some fishing villages and waterfalls. The island has some stunning bays one which was where "Doctor Doolittle" (the original) was made and is now home to some famous people such as Oprah, although she's probably got a house on every island in the Caribbean!

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.

... Rock a man-of-war and proceeded to equip the islet with guns. No temporary gesture, it remained in service for two years." But what the heck were they thinking? As we sailed past it, we wondered how it could possibly have serviced as anything other than a bird sanctuary. Not to mention that it is approximately 25 miles from Diamond Rock north to St. Pierre. Don't you think the French would figure out that they just had to sail ...

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.]

... flying back to the States from St. Lucia on May 17th with the first stop Evanston, IL (Andrew, Joann and Bill) and the second stop Philadelphia (Ayla, Denise and Bob). We plan to be back on Free Spirit on May 25th. Most of our new cruising friends have to be in Trinidad soon than we do because of their hurricane season insurance requirements so it appears we will have quiet anchorages in the Grenadines. It has been so much fun meeting all of these full-time cruisers and we are all planning to rendezvous in Trinidad.

... 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.
