Martinique: France in the Caribbean

St. Pierre is one of my favorite cities in the Caribbean. It boasts restaurants, patisseries, shops, vegetable markets, a zoo, snorkeling, diving, underwater wrecks/statues, ruins and seaglass. Mount Pelee, a volcano on the northern part of the island blew its top in 1902. Pyroclastic flows destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre and killed an estimated 30,000 people. We visited many ruins around the city during our stay. Our days in St. Pierre were filled with walking, shoppin

Maggie Arrives in Portsmouth - the Friendliest Little Port in the Caribbean

Maggie was due to arrive on Thursday, but came three days early. She had intended to visit the northern area of Dominica before she boarded Liahona.

Maggie was also able to see the natural Chaudier Pools on northern Dominica, before we left. Later, a weather window appeared, so it was time to move

On to Portsmouth, Dominica - the friendliest port in the Caribbean

We signed up for the PAYS Yachting Festival. P.A.Y.S. - Portsmouth Association of Yacht Security is a group of small boaters who provide assistance with moorings, customs/immigration, taxis and tours. They offer two bar-b-ques each week, for cruisers, locals and other visitors. We found this stop last year and were very impressed with their hospitality and services.

Moving to ile des Saintes, Guadeloupe

After a lovely evening visiting friends on their Super Maramu 2000 (just like ours), we finally got a weather window to move to a new place. We sailed south to Riviera Sans, where we bought fuel and I found seaglass ate the beach there. We had planned to stop at this location for the night. Instead, we decided to continue on to ile des Saintes, a group of islands owned by Guadeloupe. We spent the night at a small anchorage near the main harbour. Early the next morning we too

Into the Rainforest in our Rental Car!

After waiting three weeks in Guadeloupe, we finally got our 2 day rental car. We started off bright and early in the morning in order to get the most out of the small, standard Dacia brand car. And off the the rainforest, we went. Luckily, Tim was skilled at driving a standard shift car through windy roads and hairpin turns. All I had to do was sit back and enjoy the ride. But, of course, I had to help. So, I announced every curve and turn along the way. Our first stop came
