... 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 ...

... we could find any info in our cruising guide about the secret location of customs in Forte de France. Just then our friends from Seamist dropped anchor right next to us and John had a different book to us explaining there was a customs agent in a boat chandlery shop in town. So off we went again and to our delight it was the simplest system, all computerised, just type in your details and print the form....all done. And no cost ....even better. Once cleared in ...

... 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.

... the carribean sea. The capital town of this Island is Fort-de-France. This Island has knew a terrific blast of the "Montagne Pelé" volcano the 8th may 1902. and there was 2 survivors of this tragedy whereof a prisoner. The specialities of this Island are bananas planting and the rhum.

... my host father was born here, in Martinique. They share a lot of the same views and I really enjoying talking to them but I can see the contrasts in their lives. Martinique is an island paradise, but it is more than the "tres belle plage" and the Montagne Pelee. It is full of music, tradition, and life. My life at home is completely different than my life here. I wake up at 6:30 or 7 in the morning and am asleep by 11 at night. It is ...

Nic and I ventured up the west coast and stayed in a bunglow in St Pierre. The weather was warm but for the first day or so there was a lot of rain. We went to the local markets, had Creole lunch at 10am (while others were having rhum) and then had fresh coconut juice straight out of the coconut. We then headed further north to check out a beach and gave a lift to a local guy ...

... soon left and we moved even closer to the reef. It was incredible to be the only yacht in this spectacular anchorage with some of the best snorkeling we have ever enjoyed. With absolutely no ambient light the sky was amazing. I could have stayed there for a week but we had other anchorages on Barbuda to explore. Al called George Jeffrey and arranged a frigatebird rookery visit for two days hence so the next morning we needed to move over to Low Bay north of Palmetto Point. We ...

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 ...
