This morning we headed off for Martinique. We made it as far as Marigot Bay about 8 miles north of where we started. The forecast was changeable and so it was, about every 10 minutes. I thought that we had plain sailing from now on, that was a mistake. We had squall after squall. One blast almost knocked us flat. We were passing near to a whale watching boat at the time. I think that they were more alarmed than we were.  They followed us for a few minutes just to check we were OK but we were fine. Well that is except Pat who retired below with a saucepan, not to rustle up something special, well I suppose she did in a way. Things didn’t look too pleasant for the rest of the day so we decided to give it a miss and pull into Marigot Bay. Very pretty but a bit developed.

 

We live to fight another day.
