... celebrations in Trinidad. Martinique was remembered fondly in my mind as having wonderful French cheeses and wines. As we neared the island, our main sail blew out. The good news about sailing in the Caribbean is that there is wind and sun, the bad news is that there is wind and sun. The sun's UV rays eat away at the sails much quicker than anything Alaska can throw at them. But other good news about Martinique is that we found a sail maker there who looked at it ...

After a windblown passage across from St Lucia (it always blows here! I was under the impression that the Caribbean Islands were the ideal cruising grounds, gentle breezes, idyllic anchorages, but so far the wind hasn't dropped below 20knots, much of it over 30knots. I suppose this is normal, after all we are in the trade wind belt.) We found a protected little anchorage on the Southern end of Martinique. The boys were straight into the water, keen to get their ...

... four days later. He later went on tour with the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Not sure what would have been worse. It was time to head south, and we set our sights on the capital of Fort-de-France for an easy check out. After stocking up on wonderful French wines, cheeses and sausages, we had an early morning departure for St. Lucia. The nicest thing about sailing in the West Indies is the proximity of the islands. It was about 30 ...

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.

... it is easy to say that I am easily falling into speaking this difficult language and I know that one day it will be as easy and no one will question me! (Thinking...please come soon). :) Right now, I have my last class tomorrow and then my class is going Kayaking in the Mangroves for the afternoon. I am really excited! For the rest of my stay, I will be spending my time either working on my paper (all in French) and at the beach ...

Bonjour de Martinique!! So I haven't had any time to write a blog and I only have a computer twice a week. Time sure does fly. Martinique...man..what a place. It is beautiful, the beaches are amazing, I haven't been sunburned (yet) and I have lots of new freckles! I love my host family but the communication in French is a challenge but it gets easier every single day. So far I have been to the center, north and east of ...

... day. Jeff showed us the entire north end of the island, once again explaining everything we saw. We took a mini-hike to an area of sulfurous bubbling water from a volcanic vent on the road from Toucari to Pennville. In some places one just hears the hiss and in other places the water actually bubbles to the surface. We saw dasheen fields growing on amazingly steep inclines. Since all of the farming is done by hand it is especially impressive to see these steep farms. Jeff pointed ...

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 ...
