The gribs told us there would be no wind today, so we went for a hike up to Fort Rodney in Pigeon Island. On top there was a great view to Martinique and plenty of wind in between. So we sauntered back to the boat and set of at 10.45 for another very pleasant sail in 10-12k SE’ly all the way to St Pierre at the north west end of Martinique. Arrived here at 17.15 and anchored off the town on the narrow shelf. Drops off to hundreds of meters pretty quickly!

All well on board. Did some poled out sailing to get the crew worked up on new techniques and all fine.
