Finally moved out of Le Marin, through the channel and over to a patch of sand amongst coral reef off a coconut palm beach. Straight in the water and had a lovely snorkel, lots of different fish, of course. The Douane boat came up and politely explained that we couldn't anchor there, that tho other boat nearby was on a mooring. Very kind of them to wait till we'd finished our swim…. so pottered over to St Anne's, a beautiful village with a mile or two of sand to anchor on. Caught up with No Rehearsal again for the last time. Played tulum across the water at night on account of a Turkish boat anchored not far from us.
Left early in the morning for Fort de France for Marcel to do his boat license medical and to check us out of Martinique, and had a great sail, 7-8kn on a flat sea. This is why people want to cruise the Caribbean, and here we are just scooting through! Mad. Steve had a fun first sail, hope he doesn't expect the rest to be like this!!
Spent the afternoon wandering the streets of Fort de France, admiring the beautiful people for the last time. Wandered into Cash Converters…. yes, it's just the same. It's even down the street from KFC.
